[Neuroendocrine giant-cell epithelioma. Description of a clinical case and review of the literature].
Neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms of the larynx and hypopharynx. This tumors are divided in paragangliomas (usually benign, although malignant case have been reported), large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, described in this case as a primary pharyngo-laryngeal locate, and small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (characterized by early and diffuse metastatic disease, and best treated by radiotherapy and chemotherapy). Through the international literature, the authors reviewed the characteristics of the large cell neuroendocrine tumors and their management.
