The symptoms of NETs in children can vary widely depending on the tumor's location and whether it produces hormones. Common symptoms include:
- Abdominal pain or discomfort - Diarrhea or changes in bowel habits - Unexplained weight loss - Flushing or skin rashes - Cough or respiratory issues (if the tumor is in the lungs)
Because these symptoms are nonspecific, NETs are often misdiagnosed or diagnosed late.
