LCNC (large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas) of the ovary is a rare aggressive tumor entity of the genital tract. Its pathogenesis, origin, and prognosis have not been fully elucidated, since there are a limited number of cases reported in literature. We report a case of an 80-year-old patient, who presented with a growing abdominal mass, which turned out to be a mixed LCNC/epithelial neoplasm. Although this type of tumor is rare, the continuous development of pathologoanatomy and immunohistochemistry contributes to our better knowledge and comprehension of these neoplasms.
卵巢大细胞神经内分泌癌(LCNC)是生殖道一种罕见的侵袭性肿瘤实体。由于文献报道的病例数量有限,其发病机制、起源和预后尚未完全阐明。我们报告一例80岁患者,其因腹部肿物增大就诊,结果发现是LCNC/上皮性混合性肿瘤。尽管这类肿瘤罕见,但病理解剖学和免疫组织化学的不断发展有助于我们更好地认识和理解这些肿瘤。
