A case of primary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterus

Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine endometrium is extremely rare and found in <1% of all primary endometrial carcinomas. We report a case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium detected in a 65-year-old woman and focus our attention on the main imaging features. The low apparent diff...

Descripción
Sumario:Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine endometrium is extremely rare and found in <1% of all primary endometrial carcinomas. We report a case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium detected in a 65-year-old woman and focus our attention on the main imaging features. The low apparent diffusion coefficient value and high maximum standardized uptake value for neuroendocrine cancer serve to distinguish this cancer from endometrial cancer.
