Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma originating in the subglottic larynx: A case report with imm unohistochemical study.
Clinical Case Reports 2024 April
KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinomas are the most common non-squamous neoplasm of the larynx. Due to the rarity of the tumor, pathological diagnosis should be confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
ABSTRACT: Laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinomas (LNECs) are a rare cancer of the head and neck. Few case reports of poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma originating in the subglottic larynx exist within the literature. In this case, we discuss a 57-year-old patient with a history of four-month hoarseness with a newly diagnosed of poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma in the subglottic larynx. Treatment and prognosis of the various NEC groups differ, so precise identification requires consideration of the microscopic findings and immunostaining analysis. immunohistochemistry staining demonstrated positive result for cytokeratin 7, synaptophysin, chromogranin, CD 56, with the Ki-67 index of45%. Although surgery is usually the treatment for all tumor types, chemo radiotherapy is recommended for poorly differentiated NECs because surgery is ineffective.
