Introduction. Primary hypopharynx involvement of small cell carcinoma is very rare and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of primary small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx in a male patient.Case Report. A 50-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of sore throat and swellings in the right side of the neck. Direct laryngoscopy and biopsy revealed small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx located in the right pyriform sinus.Discussion. Small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx has no clear treatment modality due to the rarity of the disease. Systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy should have priority among the therapy regimens because of the high metastatic potential of the tumor.

A 73-year-old male underwent transurethral resection of a bladder tumor in August 2010 and April 2011. Pathological examination revealed urothelial carcinoma. After the surgery, chemotherapy and intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin instillation were performed. In September 2014, he once again underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor for recurrence, and was again diagnosed with urothelial carcinoma, pT2, by pathological examination. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radical cystectomy for tumor recurrence was performed. Pathological examination at this time revealed small cell carcinoma, pT3N0. It is rare for urothelial carcinoma to change to small cell carcinoma, and the mechanism and cause of this change are still unknown. In this case report, we discuss what causes small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder and review the literature regarding its origin.
