Miliary Lung Metastases from Genital Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinomas

We herein report two cases of miliary lung metastases from genital carcinoma in uterine cervix and endometrium. Notably, these patients were unable to receive any anti-tumor chemotherapy due to rapid progression causing respiratory failure, and they ultimately died of disease progression within only...

description We herein report two cases of miliary lung metastases from genital carcinoma in uterine cervix and endometrium. Notably, these patients were unable to receive any anti-tumor chemotherapy due to rapid progression causing respiratory failure, and they ultimately died of disease progression within only a month after the first visit to our hospitals. A postmortem examination confirmed the diagnosis of genital large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). Chest physicians should be aware of genital LCNEC with a dismal prognostic entity as an important differential diagnosis of miliary lung metastases.
