Abstract
Euroendocrine carcinomas of the cervix are rare, and account for only 2% of all cervical cancers. the diagnostic and therapeutic management of these tumors is challenging and is extrapolated from other locations of neuroendocrine tumors. Rare cases of neuroendocrine tumors of the cervix have been reported in the literature and were associated with aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. We report the case of a 62 years old woman, diagnosed with metastatic cervical neuroendocrine carcinoma who received palliative chemotherapy with good control of her disease.
