Cervical large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) exhibits highly aggressive biological behavior, including strong invasiveness, a high propensity for metastasis, drug resistance, and poor prognosis, necessitating heightened clinical and pathological awareness. This study aims to summarize the clinical characteristics of LCNEC and analyze various prognostic factors to enhance understanding and vigilance toward this disease. Combined with precise pathological diagnosis, improving diagnostic accuracy is crucial for formulating treatment strategies and assessing patient prognosis.

Inclusion Criteria: The diagnosis of cervical large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) was confirmed by histopathological examination, meeting both clinical and histological criteria. The tumor exhibited characteristic features, including large cells with abundant cytoplasm, vesicular nuclei with prominent nucleoli, and a high mitotic rate (\>10 mitoses/10 HPFs). The growth patterns were predominantly insular, trabecular, or solid, often accompanied by peripheral palisading or rosette formation, along with focal tumor necrosis. \- Exclusion Criteria: Mixed cervical LCNEC histology, cases with missing follow-up, or patients lost to contact. \-
