Abstract

Neuroendocrine carcinomas are a spectrum of rare and highly heterogeneous malignant tumors. Neuroendocrine carcinomas mainly arise from neuroendocrine cells scattered throughout the body. They mainly occur in the lung and gastrointestinal tract. Atypical carcinoid of the larynx is a rare type of neuroendocrine carcinoma, which is easily misdiagnosed as hemangioma in appearance. We mainly feature the disease to you through the diagnosis and treatment of a case of atypical carcinoid of the larynx.

Keywords: AC; atypical carcinoid; larynx; neuroendocrine carcinoma.
