## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) are highโgrade malignant neuroendocrine tumors. Histologic differentiation between SCLC and LCNEC is difficult in some cases and to the authors' knowledge, genetic alterations assoc

## BACKGROUND. Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the lung has been proposed as a new disease entity. To establish diagnostic features, bronchial brush cytologic findings were evaluated. ## METHODS. Bronchial brush cytology material of 20 LCNECs was evaluated by light microscopy and
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Poorly differentiated large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNEC) comprise a rare and still scarcely known subgroup of neuroendocrine tumors. The objective of this study was to investigate the epidemiology, clinical presentation, prognostic factors, and molecular pathwa
## Abstract LambertโEaton syndrome (LES) is an immuneโmediated disorder of the presynaptic neuromuscular junction due to the blocking effect of the voltageโgated calcium channel (VGCC) antibodies. Smallโcell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most common cause of LES. We report an unusual case of LES associ
BACKGROUND. The classification of pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms is particularly controversial. Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) has emerged as a separate entity among pulmonary endocrine neoplasms and the criteria for its histologic diagnosis are now well-described. However, cytologi
