High Grade and Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinoma: Three Case Reports

Abstract

Neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) of the luminal gastrointestinal tract and pancreas are rare, poorly differentiated neoplasms. There has been difficulty identifying associated risk factors given their very low incidence. Here we present three cases of NEC diagnosed in an 8-month period in a Minneapolis safety-net hospital.
