Rectal MiNEN: A rare case report

Abstract

Rectal mixed neuroendocrine non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN) are rare tumors with two components, neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine, each comprising 30% of all tumors. There have been limited studies on the epidemiology, clinical and prognostic characteristics of these tumors. Here, we report a case series of two cases of rectal MiNEN from a tertiary care center in North East India. These tumors are known to be aggressive and often with poor prognosis.
