Abstract
A case of amphicrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix is described in a 27-year-old woman whose initial cervical biopsy specimen showed small cell undifferentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma. Despite an initial complete clinical response to VP-16 and carboplatin, residual tumor was noted in the cervical cone biopsy specimen and she was treated with external-beam irradiation and cesium implants. The neoplasm subsequently metastasized and required additional VP-16 and carboplatin for control. The pathologic features and biologic behavior of this unusual type of neuroendocrine neoplasm are described in this case report.
