Article Synopsis
- Extrapulmonary small cell carcinomas often coexist with other types of carcinomas, leading to theories about their origin, including the possibility of arising from a multipotential stem cell.
- Recent molecular evidence suggests that the small cell component may develop later in the progression of typical organ carcinomas.
- A case study of uterine cervical adenocarcinoma revealed a 30% small cell carcinoma component, with clear transitional boundaries, supporting the idea that small cell carcinoma can develop from pre-existing adenocarcinomas.
