Abstract
Extra Pulmonary Small Cell Carcinoma (EPSCC) is a rare, aggressive malignancy that originates outside of the lungs, yet shares histopathological features with Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC). Extrapulmonary sites constitute 5.8% of all small cell carcinoma (SCC) cases. Unlike its pulmonary counterpart, which is more commonly recognized, EPSCC typically originates in other anatomical sites, including the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary system, and skeletal muscular system.1,2
