Small cell carcinoma (SCC) is an aggressive histologic subtype of neuroendocrine tumor and is most commonly of bronchogenic origin. However, it can present in an extrapulmonary fashion. Primary extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC) is a rare disease entity, especially within the genitourinary system and furthermore of the adrenal gland. There are scarce case reports that describe management of primary adrenal SCC. We present a case of localized primary adrenal SCC diagnosed on adrenal mass biopsy and successfully treated via neoadjuvant chemotherapy and extirpative surgery.
小细胞癌(SCC)是神经内分泌肿瘤的一种侵袭性组织学亚型,最常见起源于支气管。然而,它也可以以肺外的形式出现。原发性肺外小细胞癌(EPSCC)是一种罕见的疾病实体,尤其是在泌尿生殖系统中,更特别是在肾上腺。很少有病例报告描述原发性肾上腺SCC的治疗。我们报告一例通过肾上腺肿块活检诊断为局限性原发性肾上腺SCC的病例,并通过新辅助化疗和根治性手术成功治疗。
