Özet
Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas of the lung are extremely rare. There are difficulties related to the diagnosis and treatment and there are no consensus because of the small number of studies. 65-year-old male patient presented with hemoptysis. Chest X-ray and thoracic computorized tomography scan showed a mass lesion and it could not be diagnosed by bronchoscopic biopsy and lavage. Lobectomy was performed due to the high value of standardized uptake value in positron emission tomography. Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma was diagnosed with pathological evaluation and immunohistochemical study and after 20-month follow-up there was no recurrence. The diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma in the light of the literature is presented.
