Abstract

The authors report a case of a neuroendocrine tumor of the rectum. A 57-year-old man was revealed to have a large tumor of the rectum with invasion to the urinary bladder and seminal capsule. After resection, the tumor was revealed to be composed of neuroendocrine cells. Adjuvant chemotherapy using cisplatin and camptothecin-11 was completed, and the patient was without recurrence 6 months after surgery.
