title: Rare sinonasal small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma evaluated by F-18-FDG PET/MRI.
abstract: Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine tumor with a poor prognosis. Extrapulmonary SCNEC is an uncommon disease. Here we describe a rare case of sinonasal SCNEC evaluated and staged by fused Fluorine-18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging.
