Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC) of the oral cavity is a rare and distinctive tumor with aggressive clinical behavior. Thus far, only a small number of cases have been reported and no definitive standard treatment strategy has been determined. The current study reports a case of oral SNEC arising in the lower gingiva in a 73-year-old male. Computed tomography displayed a relatively well-defined mass measuring 2.8x2x1.4 cm in size. The mass was located in the buccal side of the right mandibular posterior gingiva and exhibited no bony involvement. Histopathological examination revealed a proliferation of small cells with ovoid-to spindle-shaped nuclei, fine granular chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli, scant cytoplasm and high mitotic activity. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for cytokeratin AE1/AE3, chromogranin A, synaptophysin and neuron-specific enolase. Surgical resection and radical neck dissection were performed prior to the administration of adjuvant chemotherapy with a combination of cisplatin and etoposide. No evidence of local recurrence or metastasis was observed at 14 months post-surgery.
