Background: Although rectal neuroendocrine tumours are rare neoplasms, their incidence is increasing in the last three decades. The objective of this work is to study the behaviour of these tumours based on their clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and pathological variables in a tertiary hospital. Method: Retrospective study of rectal neuroendocrine tumours from 2000 to 2017 in our hospital. A computerized search was performed in the SNOMED program of the pathological anatomy service, using the criteria “neuroendocrine tumour” and “carcinoid tumour”. results: We found 16 patients with ano-rectal neuroendocrine tumour; 75% were male. The median age was 53 years (range: 34-83). The diagnosis was incidental in 62.5%, with endoscopic treatment in 13 patients (81%) and surgical treatment in 3 (19%). 75% of the lesions were T1. 68.7% of the tumours showed a degree of G1 aggression. The mean follow-up was 29 months; no recurrences. During follow-up, three patients died (18.5%), all of them with metastatic G3 tumour and the mean survival was 8 months. Conclusions: The rectal neuroendocrine tumours are increasingly frequent and present variable patterns, whose prognosis will depend on their histological aggressiveness. The increase incidence may be due to a greater awareness of the existence of these tumours, to colorectal cancer
