BACKGROUND:: Most prevalent @entity418 is @entity957 and @entity420 . Other @entity5 are uncommon and poorly studied. @entity418 is a rare @entity189 and most of its therapy management is based on lung neuroendocrine studies. @entity5 can be clustered in the following subtypes: high grade ( @entity4153 or @entity152 ) and low grade ( @entity4303 ). OBJECTIVE:: The present study aims to assess clinical and pathological @entity5 in a single oncologic center. METHODS:: A retrospective analysis of @entity1 and review of the literatures was performed. RESULTS:: Fourteen @entity1 were identified as @entity5 , 11 male and 3 female @entity1 . Mean age was 67.3 years old. Ten @entity1 were classified as small cell, 3 as large cell and 1 as @entity4303 . Four @entity1 presented @entity957 simultaneously and 1 also presented @entity420 . Main sites of @entity3 were liver, peritoneum, lung and bones. Most @entity1 died before 2 years of follow-up. @entity1 with longer survival died at 35 months after diagnosis. CONCLUSION:: Neuroendocrine @entity5 are rare; affect mainly @entity1 in their sixties or seventies. High grade @entity5 can be mixed to other subtypes @entity5 , such as @entity420 and @entity957 . Most of these @entity1 have poor overall survival rates.
