Abstract:
A 48-year-old man whose symptom had intermittent right chest pain and x-ray film revealed large mass on right mid lung fields was examined. A conclusive histological diagnosis of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma was made following bilobectomy. Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is an uncommon pulmonary neoplasm, which is characterized by large cell size and low nuclear to cytoplasmic. This tumor shows prominent organoid nests of tumor cells with peripheral palisading and rosette-like structures. We experienced one case of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of lung and report it with references.
