摘要：
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare, slow-growing tumors originating from the diffuse neuroendocrine cell system, predominantly affecting the digestive tract. Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs) may present with nonspecific symptoms, such as abdominal pain, or with intermittent intestinal obstruction. This case outlines the diagnostic journey of a septuagenarian male with prolonged abdominal symptoms and weight loss. Despite extensive investigation, a definitive cause remained elusive. Recurrent partial intestinal obstruction led to surgical exploration and segmental resection. Pathology confirmed a NET. The case underscores the importance of considering intestinal neoplasia in older patients with recurrent partial small bowel obstruction.
