cells which are widely distributed in the body. The sites most often affected by these tumors, in order of importance, are the gastrointestinal and bronchopulmonary tracts (1). However, primary neuroendocrine tumors in the presacral region are extremely rare. Even though there were a few reports about neuroendocrine tumor of the presacral region, to the best of our knowledge, primary malignant neuroendocrine tumor of the presacral region has not been described with a focus on the imaging findings.
