Abstract

Primary well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the presacral region is extremely rare with only 19 case reports having been described in the literature. We report here the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging correlated with histopathologic findings of primary well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the presacral region. Unlike the previously reported cases, our case exhibited aggressive behavior and distant metastases.

신경내분비암종은 다양한 부위에서 발생하나 천골전방에 발생한 고분화신경내분비암종은 19예에 불과하고 그 중에서도 원발성인 경우는 현재까지 보고된 바가 거의 없다. 저자들은 천골전방에 발생한 원발고분화신경내분비암종의 CT, MRI 소견을 조직병리학소견과 함께 보고하여 감별진단에 도움을 주고자 한다.
