Anmol Kath, Prince Handa, Aparna Ganesan, Nishtha Batra
TL;DR
A rare case of neuroendocrine carcinoma in cervical lymph nodes is reported, highlighting the need for thorough diagnostic evaluation.
Contribution
This case report adds to the limited literature on neuroendocrine carcinomas presenting as metastasis in cervical lymph nodes.
Findings
The case involved a cervical lymph node metastasis with neuroendocrine differentiation.
The case was managed successfully with appropriate clinic-radiological and immunohistochemical evaluation.
Abstract
Neuroendocrine carcinomas occurring in cervical lymph nodes are few and far between. Such presentations demand meticulous clinic-radiological workup besides appropriate immunohistochemical evaluation. We present an adequately managed case of cervical lymph nodal metastatic carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation.
