AB A case is reported of a woman who developed untreat-able diarrhea after a prior biliopancreatic diversion(BPD), attributed to the malabsorptive component.Abdominal ultrasound incidentally found focal liverlesions. On fine needle aspiration biopsy, atypia wasfound, and these hepatic lesions were resected withfree margins. The specimen showed liver metastasesof an aggressive malignant neuroendocrine neo-plasm. The primary site was subsequently identified tobe in the pancreas. The physician and surgeon mustrealize that non-related diseases can develop afterbariatric surgery, as in the general population.
