To study the clinicopothologic diagnosis and treatment of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix(SCNCC)in relion to its outcome. Eight cases of SCNCC treated within 10 years in our hospital were reviewed and andlyzed retrospectively and followed up in our clinic. The clinical and pathologic classifications were correct, namely:Ⅰa 1,Ⅰb 2,Ⅱa 2, Ⅱb 1; Ⅲa 1 and Ⅲb 1 case. Three early cases had total hysterectomy with all pelvic lymph nodes removed and 5 late cases had radio therapy only.Of them 5 cases died 13～38 months after treatment,averaging 19 months, 3 liviny,for 3,4 and 5 months,respectively,one case, however,with metastasis to kidney.SCNCC is a rare tumor of high malignancy with early metastasis and poor prognosis.It should be recognized early and treated with Wertheim's operation and total removal of pelvic lymph nodes with postoperative radio or chemotherapy.
