HPV‐associated neuroendocrine carcinomas of the head and neck in FNA biopsies: Clinicopathologic features of a rare entity
Abstract
The majority of human papillomavirus (HPV)–associated oropharyngeal carcinomas are squamous cell carcinomas; however, there are rare reports of HPV–associated neuroendocrine carcinomas (HPV‐NECs) in the upper aerodigestive tract. The aim of this study was to characterize the diagnostic features of fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) cases of head and neck HPV‐NEC.
