Sumario:Large cell neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare and aggressive cancer that tends to spread and recur early despite intensive multimodal treatment. Conventional treatment strategies for early stage neuroendocrine tumour (NET) include radical hysterectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. There are only 2 reported cases of fertility sparing treatment for NET. We report on the first case of successful conception and delivery at term following radical trachelectomy for early stage LCNEC.
