Article Abstract
Tonsillar neuroendocrine carcinoma has low incidence and poor prognosis, there is no standard treatment which is mainly by surgery, radiotherapy, or combined with chemotherapy. With announcement of the results of phase III clinical trials of sovantinib in extrapancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma, sovantinib has shown potential in the treatment of neuroendocrine carcinoma. To our knowledge, there are no reports about the application of sovantinib in tonsillar neuroendocrine carcinoma. We reported a patient with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of tonsil, who had developed distant metastasis at the first diagnosis and was not effective after routine chemotherapy; and only temporary remission was achieved with the use of immunotherapy. Then with the subsequent change to sovantinib, long-term disease control without serious adverse reactions was achieved. Therefore, we propose that sovantinib is one of the important alternative treatments for advanced tonsillar neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Isolated ectopic secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is an exceedingly rare cause of Cushing's syndrome (CS), accounting for fewer than 1% of cases. Ectopic CS is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition that often necessitates urgent diagnostic evaluation and treatment. Hormonal testing may suggest a pituitary origin, complicating the diagnostic process.

Introduction: von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder characterized by the development of tumor-like lesions in multiple organs. While central nervous system hemangioblastomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and pancreatic cysts are commonly associated with VHL disease, there have been few reported cases of pancreatic hemangioblastoma in patients with VHL disease.
Case Presentation: A male patient in his 30s had been diagnosed with VHL disease and had been followed for cerebellar and spinal hemangioblastomas, and renal cell carcinoma, for which he had undergone several tumor resections, radiation therapy, and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), an aggressive neuroendocrine tumor strongly associated with exposure to tobacco carcinogens, is characterized by early dissemination and dismal prognosis with a five-year overall survival of less than 7%. High-frequency gain-of-function mutations in oncogenes are rarely reported, and intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) remains to be determined in SCLC. Here, via multiomics analyses of 314 SCLCs, we found that the ASCL1/MKI67 and ASCL1/CRIP2 clusters accounted for 74.

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix is an uncommon, aggressive tumor that most often affects women in their 40s and is frequently linked to high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. It is associated with poor prognosis even in early-stage disease. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman with high-risk HPV who presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding.

The Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by multiple cystic tumors in several organs, including the pancreas. The symptoms are variable, and suspicion must be raised with typical lesions, such as a hemangioblastoma of the central nervous system (CNS) or retina, associated with a renal cell carcinoma, a pheochromocytoma or multiple pancreatic cysts, besides neuroendocrine tumors (NET). The diagnosis in a patient without a family history should be suspected in case of a hemangioblastoma of the CNS and/or retina, which could also be associated with other lesions, such as pancreatic cysts and NETs.
