- This study examined the characteristics of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) found in the skin and conjunctiva, focusing on a small group of patients with a median age of 85.
- The tumors were primarily located on the face, showed a high rate of metastasis, and had a significant risk of mortality, indicating their aggressive nature.
- Key findings included common immunoreactivity for various markers and the presence of mutant patterns for p53, PTEN, and Rb, suggesting potential challenges in diagnosis and treatment similar to other neuroendocrine tumors.
