Gastrointestinal tract is the most common locality for well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NET). While their occurrence in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is uncommon, it has been well documented. However, the causal relationship between development of NET and chronic intestinal inflammation or dysplasia remains controversial. The presence of NET in the ileal pouch in UC patients has been described only in a few reports to date. In this article, we present a case of such a tumor arising in the pouch in a patient with primary sclerosing cholangitis-associated UC, who underwent a restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis and liver transplantation. The case is supported by a review of a relevant literature.
