Abstract
Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NECC) is a rare variant of cervical cancer. The prognosis of women with NECC is poor and there is no standardized therapy for this type of malignancy based on controlled trials. Here we report a case in which a 32 years old African female patient with an intermittent vaginal spotting and abdominal pain evolving for more than three months with complete preservation of the general condition. The clinical examination revealed only a bulky mass of the cervix, which turned out to be small cell neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma. We reviewed and discussed the features, diagnosis, and prognosis of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix.
