Description
Primary well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the presacral region is extremely rare with only 19 case reports having been described in the literature. We report here the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging correlated with histopathologic findings of primary well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the presacral region. Unlike the previously reported cases, our case exhibited aggressive behavior and distant metastases.
