description Neuroendocrine carcinoma is a rare tumor in the uterine cervix with a dismal prognosis. Clinically, it is difficult to differentiate from other cervical malignancies. Clinical presentation varies from vaginal bleeding, discharge per vaginum and cervical mass. For better clinical outcomes, it is vital to diagnose promptly and accurately. We report a 35-year-old female presented with whitish discharge per vaginum and lower abdominal pain for six months. Per speculum reveals an irregular, firm mass measuring 4x3 cm involving both the cervical lips, which turned out to a small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.
