β¦ Synopsis
An extrapulmonary oat cell carcinoma arising in the larynx is described. Ultrastructurally the tumor is identical to the oat cell carcinoma of pulmonary origin. The pressure of neurosecretory granules in our case strongly suggests that the tumor is derived from Kulchitsky-like cells, a histogenesis previously proposed for oat cell carcinoma of the lung.

## Abstract Primary laryngeal small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNC) is an unusual malignancy accounting for <0.5% of laryngeal carcinomas. To date, approximately 200 cases of primary and 5 of secondary SCNC of the larynx have been reported. This tumor most often presents in the sixth and seven
The mutational inactivation of suppressor genes, a process required for cancer progression, generates new genetic subclones within a tumor. The allelic losses that frequently unmask these mutations serve not only as markers of the chromosomal locations of these genes but also as clonal fingerprints
