Abstract: Gastric neuroendocrine tumour is one of the rare tumours of gastrointestinal tract with incidence ranging from 0.3% to 1.8% and more commonly seen in Caucasians [1].Owing to growing incidence of tumour, we need to be updated about the knowledge and management guidelines as majority patients are asymptomatic and often present with diagnostic dilemma.We hereby present a case of 39-year-old male with complaints of pain abdomen which on USG and CT was suspected of having alternate diagnosis but ultimately radical surgical excision revealed the diagnosis.We need more such case reports and meta-analysis to keep our understanding of such rare tumour and its management, prognosis to look for availability of novel therapeutic options in future.
