| Abstract |
|
Small-cell carcinoma is predominantly found in the lungs and only about 5% of small-cell carcinoma cases are extrapulmonary
in origin. Extrapulmonary small-cell carcinomas are commonly found in the esophagus, pancreas, skin, uterus, breast, and prostate.
Small-cell carcinoma of the head and neck is extremely rare. Although both pulmonary and extrapulmonary small-cell carcinomas
usually show a good initial response to chemotherapy, the prognosis is dismal. We report a case of supraglottic small-cell carcinoma
with ipsilateral cervical lymph node metastasis in a 69-year-old man. The patient was treated with concurrent platinum-based chemoradiotherapy
and remains in complete remission with an excellent performance status. (Korean J Med 76:S164-S168, 2009) |
