Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Oral Cavity: A Case Report of an Unusual Presentation

“…For patients in poor general condition, and for whom surgery may be adverse, or refusing surgery, the therapeutic strategy only includes radiotherapy with/without chemotherapy. In their article, yoshida et al, treated their patient with radiotherapy alone [18], while khurana et al, treated their patient with combined radiotherapy [19]. All three patients had complete tumor remission in both arms, but with severe toxicities.…”

Metastatic high-grade neuroendocrine tumor of mandible

“…At present, in addition to ultrastructural studies, immunohistochemical techniques are the most sensitive methods available for the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors. [9] Treatment modalities for neuroendocrine carcinomas of the oral cavity have included surgery, multidrug chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, alone or in combination. Currently, well-established treatment protocols do not exist.…”

Atypical carcinoid (neuroendocrine carcinoma) of the gingiva: Counterpart of a laryngeal tumor

“…Tumors originating in the oral mucosa are extremely rare. Only nine cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma originating in the oral mucosa have been reported in English literature 7–15 . Five of those cases were reported as Merkel cell carcinoma, including a case that reported Merkel cell carcinoma was equal to neuroendocrine carcinoma.…”

“…Five of those cases were reported as Merkel cell carcinoma, including a case that reported Merkel cell carcinoma was equal to neuroendocrine carcinoma. Only two cases were reported as neuroendocrine carcinoma 12,13 . Merkel cell carcinoma has an aggressive behavior and frequent mitotic activity, and tumor nests with frequent necrosis are histological characteristics of the tumor.…”
