Neuroendocrine carcinoma of left adnexa: A case report of rare histology in female gynecological tract

The treatment of primary neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) of the female genital tract is difficult since they are rare, aggressive, have a high recurrence rate, and have poor prognosis. As no established guidelines exist, diagnosing and treating them can be extremely difficult for clinicians. This ca...

description The treatment of primary neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) of the female genital tract is difficult since they are rare, aggressive, have a high recurrence rate, and have poor prognosis. As no established guidelines exist, diagnosing and treating them can be extremely difficult for clinicians. This case study explains the role of histopathology and immunohistochemistry in diagnosing a rare neuroendocrine carcinoma of the left adnexa. Investigating novel therapeutic approaches that can enhance the clinical result for such uncommon cases is imperative.
