Neuroendocrine tumor is basically a condition in which an abnormal tissue growth arises in the hormone producing nervous cells (or neuroendocrine cells) of the body. Such tumors can develop in various organs like the intestines, lungs, and pancreas or anywhere in the rest of the body. An endocrine tumor refers to the development of tumors in the hormone-producing or the endocrine cells of the body. But when those cells are also nerve cells, the condition becomes neuroendocrine tumor.
