## 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.

## Key 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.
