Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium is an insufficiently researched aggressive tumor with a short survival regard­less of the treatment type. We present here the 38th consecutive case of literature reported cases of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium (posi­tive for synaptophysin, CD56, chromogranin A, p53, and Vimentin) found in the myomatous uterus of a 76-year-old woman. We also describe in the study the morphological algorithm for differentiation of malignant blastomas with small (under 10 %) neuro-endocrinal component. Accumulated clinical and morphological evidence raises the question whether the large-cell and the small-cell neuroendocrine carcino­mas are just different variations according to their histology and topical occurrence (uterine body/cervix) or they are just independent forms with their respective clinical signs, morphology, treatment, and prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
