Publication Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma: A rare second primary malignancy after treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(Sciendo, 2018) ;Krishnamoorthy Madhusudhan ;Nor Eyzawiah binti Hassan ;Norasnieda Binti Md Shukri ;Shahrul Bin HitamIkmal Hisyam Bin BakrinSmall cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) of the nasopharynx and nasal cavity is a rare condition. It is an aggressive malignancy with a high recurrence rate. Despite its rarity in the sinonasal region, it may occur as a second primary malignancy. Patients with cancer of the head and neck region are more prone to develop a second primary tumor due to the field cancerization phenomenon, and a higher incidence is seen in those who have previously received radiation therapy. A detailed clinical and histopathological examination is pivotal to diagnose SCNEC as a second primary malignancy. We wish to highlight such a peculiar case from our center.
