Abstract:
Neuroendocrine tumors of the epiglottis were extremely rare. Patients normally had no obvious symptoms and signs of early stage. Epiglottis lingual except (without) tubercle of epiglottis, and hyperplastic mass were observed by using laryngoscopy and also confirmed by biopsy and immunohistochemistry. Immunohis- tochemical studies showed that Syn, a broad spectrum endocrine marker, and CgA, a specific marker of endocrine tumor, were both positive. Which is consistent with the diagnosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma.
