Abstract
Small cell neuroendocrine carcinomas of the gynecologic tract are unusual, accounting for only 2% of the cervical cancers. Given the rarity of these tumors and the absence of randomized trials, their diagnosis and treatment programmes are difficult and are essentially based on those of neuroendocrine tumors of the lung. As in the case of the neuroendocrine tumors of the lung and despite multimodal treatment they are associated with a poor prognosis. We here report a new case of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and, throught a literature review, we highlight the various aspects of this rare entity.Entities:
