Abstrakt:	Background: A high rate of association between neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and secondary primary malignancy (SPM) has been described in literature and this association can occur either in a synchronous or a metachronous presentation. A wide range of hypothesis has been postulated to explain the high rate of association between NETs and SPM, without definitive conclusions. Case Presentation: We report a case of an ileal neuroendocrine tumor found incidentally at the histologic examination of the surgical specimen in a 72 years old male underwent to right hemi colectomy for two colic adenomatous polips with high grade dysplasia. Conclusion: Large multicentric epidemiological studies should be considered to assess the association between NETs and SPM. Key Words: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Secondary primary malignancy (SPM).
