Mixed Neuroendocrine-Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Hand With Metastatic Dissemination: A Case Report

Cutaneous manifestations of mixed neuroendocrine non-neuroendocrine neoplasms remain a diagnostic rarity. Predominantly identified within internal glandular organs, the digestive tract, and in the hepatobiliary system, this case report illustrates a unique occurrence of a mixed squamous cell and neuroendocrine tumor in the index finger of a justice-affected patient. We discuss the complexities of diagnosis and complications as well as emphasize the importance for hand surgeons to recognize presentations like this and the need for vigilant follow-up and improved care coordination.
