Abstract:

Objective: The Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (NEC) of ovary is a rare and aggressive tumor with tendency to present at advanced stage. The prognosis is poor even when diagnosed early. Till date only 7 cases have been published in literature. Recently we managed a case which we want to report.Case Report: We report a 58-year-old lady with a history of hysterectomy for dysfunctional uterine bleeding 12 years back presenting with bilateral primary large cell NEC of ovary with omental and intestinal metastasis for which optimal surgical debulking was done.Conclusion: Primary NEC of ovary is a rare tumor which is managed similar to epithelial malignancies, but the outcome is poor.
