Haematoxylin and eosin staining showed coexistent metastatic adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma; original magnification, × 100. (a) High magnification of the neuroendocrine component; original magnification, × 400. (b) The mitotic rate of the small cell neuroendocrine component was 20 cells per 10 high power fields. (c) Immunohistochemically, the neuroendocrine carcinoma cells were positive for synaptophysin; original magnification, ×200 and (d) CD 56; original magnification, ×200. (e) Immunohistochemical assay for Ki67 showing high proliferating index; original magnification, ×200.
