[Nasal neuroendocrine carcinoma]
Objective:
To recognize and understand further nasal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NNC), improve the diagnosis and therapeutic effect.
Methods:
Eight cases of the nasal neuroendocrine carcinomas (7 males, 1 female) were analyzed. Among them, 6 cases had tumors in left side of nose, 2 in right side. The average course was only 2.8 months, but the lesions were often extent.
Results:
The patients were pathologically confirmed to be neuroendocrine carcinomas. 5 cases were of small cell type, 2 undifferentiated, 1 poorly differentiated. One patient died 14 months after treatment. 2 cases were lost for follow-up. The others were still in treatment.
Conclusion:
The nasal neuroendocrine carcinoma has rapid progress and poor prognosis. Clinically, combined treatment should be adopted, the effect of simple operation was poor.
