Abstract:
The large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is uncommon and its diagnostic criteria was recently established as pulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma. A 74-year-old man who was a heavy smoker without symptoms was presented with a lung mass in right lower lobe. He was diagnosed as having large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma by needle biopsy. He was treated with right lower lobe lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection. We experienced one case of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of lung and report it with reference.
