Abstract

|
|
Neuroendocrine carcinomas are rare neoplasms of the hypopharynx. Neuroendocrine neoplasms are divided into four main types : carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, small cell carcinoma and paraganglioma. The diagnosis is primarily based on light microscopy and should be confirmed by immunohistochemical investigation. Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the hypopharynx is extremely uncommon tumor and surgical results for this tumor have been disappointing. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy currently appear the most effective forms of therapy. We report our case of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the hypopharynx with the brief review of literatures.
