Abstract
Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare malignancy and accounts for only 1% of cervical malignancies. The mean age is 34 years, ranges from 21 to 62 years. It usually presents with abnormal Pap smear or vaginal bleeding. LCNEC shows an aggressive behavior, similar to lung counterpart, with early metastases to regional lymph nodes and liver, lung, bone and brain. Median survival is <2 years. Due to the rarity of this malignancy, the management of LCNEC is difficult and associated with uncertainty. An interdisciplinary approach is necessary because most studies investigating the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors have been performed in patients with tumors in organs other than cervix, mostly the lung and pancreas. The biology of LCNEC is different from the squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the cervix regarding a number of characteristics. LCNEC is more likely to invade the lymph nodes at the time of diagnosis and local and distant relapses occur more often in LCNEC. Overall survival is significantly poor compared to squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the cervix

Key words: Ovarian Cancer, Neuroendocrine Carcinoma, Rare cancer of ovary
