Abstract
Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (SCNCC) is considered to be an extremely rare, highly invasive and aggressive subtype of squamous cell carcinoma. It is particulary rare during pregnancy. Here we report a case in which a 32-year-old patient who was admitted to our Department at 27 completed weeks of gestation with intermittent vaginal spotting and a large amount of malodorous vaginal discharge. Gynecological examination revealed a 2 cm exophytic polypoid tumor coming out of the cervix. On rectal examination there was no clinically evident parametrial invasion. Biopsy of the cervix was performed and the diagnosis of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma was established. We reviewed and discussed the features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of SCNCC diagnosed during pregnancy.
