Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is very rarely encountered within the endometrium.
A patient underwent a hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy for a suspicious gynecologic condition. Pathology revealed invasive small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium; the neoplasm exhibited positive immunoreactivity for synaptophysin, pancytokeratin and CD56 but was negative for CD3 and CD20. Prior to chemotherapy, a completion lymphadenectomy was indicated to determine the presence of nodal metastases.
The prognosis of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium is unfavorable but prompt detection with surgery and adjuvant therapy may confer a better clinical outcome.
子宫内膜小细胞神经内分泌癌极为罕见。
一名患者因可疑妇科疾病接受了子宫切除术和输卵管卵巢切除术。病理显示为子宫内膜浸润性小细胞神经内分泌癌;该肿瘤突触素、全细胞角蛋白和CD56免疫反应呈阳性,但CD3和CD20呈阴性。化疗前,建议行根治性淋巴结清扫术以确定是否存在淋巴结转移。
子宫内膜小细胞神经内分泌癌预后不佳,但通过手术和辅助治疗及时发现可能带来更好的临床结果。
