Primary small cell carcinoma of the adrenal gland: Case presentation of a rare extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma [PDF]
Small cell carcinoma (SCC) is an aggressive histologic subtype of neuroendocrine tumor and is most commonly of bronchogenic origin. However, it can present in an extrapulmonary fashion.

Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma of the liver treated with chemotherapy and durvalumab [PDF]
Two basic criteria must be met for the diagnosis of extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC): the tumor must present histological characteristics of small cell carcinoma and a primary small cell lung carcinoma must be ruled out. We present the case of

Merkel cell polyomavirus and extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma. [PDF]
The Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) is involved in the development of up to 100% of Merkel cell cancer (MCC) cases. Early studies have reported that the virus was infrequently detected in other small cell or neuroendocrine lung carcinomas, which share histological features with MCC.

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-producing Extrapulmonary Small Cell Carcinoma of the Breast. [PDF]
Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC) of the breast is a very rare tumor. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) production from these tumors is extremely rare and seldom reported resulting in significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and delays. We present a case of a 38-year-old female who presented with a breast lump and was diagnosed with

KRAS Mutation in Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Extrapulmonary Small Cell Cancer
Background: Lung cancer is one of the most lethal cancers. It is mainly classified into 2 groups: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Extrapulmonary small cell carcinomas (EPSCC) are very rare.

Safety, Efficacy, and Central Nervous System Control in Patients with High Baseline Risk Factors Treated with Tarlatamab for SCLC or Extrapulmonary Small Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Introduction: SCLC remains the most aggressive lung cancer with a poor prognosis. Tarlatamab, a bispecific T-cell engager, is approved for use in extensive-stage SCLC after progression on a platinum-based chemotherapy on the basis of the DeLLphi-301 ...
