Abstract
- Primary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the nasal cavity is a very rare and aggressive neoplasm. This tumor is clinically characterized by a propensity for early widespread dissemination that accounts for the dismal prognosis. Although numerous aggressive treatment strategies for this tumor have been reported, optimal treatment has not yet been defined and successfully treated case has not been reported in Korea. Therefore, we report a case of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the nasal septum, which was successfully treated by endoscopic wide resection combined with postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy
