Abstract
Purpose: Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) in the cervix is a rare entity of cervical carcinoma associated with invasiveness and poor prognosis. There is limited knowledge of etiology of SCNEC. The diagnosis depends on pathological examination. Various treatment regimes are suggested. Case Report: In this article, the authors present a case of SCNEC. A 33-year-old woman was admitted with complaints of contact vaginal bleeding for one week. Pathological examination showed that synaptophysin (Syn) and CD56 were positive in tumor cells and the case was single cell type SCNEC. For this case, the authors selected TP regime after surgery and achieved better outcome. Conclusion: Combination of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy is recommended to treat the patients.
