Identifying the site of the primary tumor in NETs found within the liver can be challenging. To determine if an extrahepatic primary tumor exists, workup should include endoscopy, EUS, and capsule endoscopy. Children with well-differentiated hepatic NETs, with no identifiable primary tumor, and an unresectable tumor, are considered favorable candidates for liver transplantation.
