Abstract: Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of ovary (LCNEC) is a rare entity and is frequently associated with ovarian surface epithelial
tumors. However, its association with serous carcinoma with mucin production has not been described. We report the first case of such in a
68-year old woman. Immunohistochemistry and mucicarmine stain confirmed the diagnosis. Its clinicopathologic association is discussed
and the literature is reviewed. (IJCEP808004).
Key Words: Ovary, neuroendocrine carcinoma, non-small cell type, serous carcinoma, immunohistochemistry
