Abstract

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are derived from endocrine cells and are very rarely seen in gynecological practice. Here we report a case of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) of cervix in a 45 year old married female who presented with history of menorrhagia. On gynecological examination, she had bulky uterus with a palpable non tender, hard nodule on posterior wall of cervix. Ultrasonogram of pelvis was reported as bulky ? adenomyotic uterus with 2.7x2.4x1.0cm well defined collection in fundal region of endometrium. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy for abnormal uterine bleeding. Histopathology with immunohistochemical markers was reported as small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) of cervix. This case is reported here for its rarity.
