Primary small cell carcinoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is rare. This tumor appears to behave differently from the pulmonary small cell tumor, with propensity for local recurrence rather than early distant spread. Two new cases will be presented.

Small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a rare histological entity that has a poor prognosis. We report the case of a patient with small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix who underwent a radical hysterectomy during pregnancy. A 33-year-old Japanese woman with genital bleeding was referred at 15 weeks’ gestation. A speculum exam revealed a 5.4-cm-dia. mass in the cervix, and a cervical biopsy revealed small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Imaging studies demonstrated a tumor confined to the cervix, swelling of intra-pelvic lymph nodes, and no distant spread of the tumor. She was diagnosed as having small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix, stage IB2, and underwent a radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy. She refused any adjuvant therapies, had a systemic relapse 4 months after surgery, and died of the disease 5 months after surgery. Early-stage small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix should be treated with a definitive therapy soon after diagnosis whether the patient is pregnant or not. Saving the mother’s life should be the top priority.

Small cell carcinoma of bladder, which does not have a common and accepted treatment protocol, is a rare and highly aggressive tumor. It is mostly pulmonary originated; however, it can rarely be seen in extrapulmonary sites. We presented an interesting and uncommon case, in which the transitional cell tumor was found in the transurethral resection specimen, but the small cell carcinoma was detected in the final radical cystectomy material.

AbstractObjective:We report the first documented case in the world literature of primary extra-pulmonary small cell carcinoma occurring in the neopharynx following laryngectomy.Method:We present a case report and a review of the world literature regarding the management of tumours of the neopharynx and extra-pulmonary small cell carcinoma.Results:The paucity of cases of extra-pulmonary small cell carcinoma has resulted in many departments managing this neoplasm similarly to pulmonary small cell cancer. However, the site of the primary can have an impact on disease survival and treatment options.Conclusion:Neopharyngeal small cell carcinoma has not previously been reported. It should be managed in the same way as other extra-pulmonary small cell carcinomas occurring within the pharynx or larynx, with combined multi-drug chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Surgery has a limited role due to the aggressiveness of the disease and the high risk of local and distant spread at presentation.
