In about 2% of malignancies, small cell carcinoma is diagnosed in the female genital tract1. Cervical small cell carcinoma and ovarian carcinoids are the most prevalent gynaecological NE tumors 2. Small cell nueroendocrine carcinoma (SCNET)of female genital tract is aggres- sive in nature and is similar to cancer arising from the bronchus We report a very rare case of 63-year-old hysterectomized woman, who presented to gynecology OPD at Dr. RPGMC Tanda, with complain of postmenopausal bleeding, hematuria, and dyschezia. She had un- dergone total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingophorectomy for AUB 11 yr back at our institute. Diagnosis of small cell neuroendocrine ca of vault was made with tissue bi- opsy and IHC. Imaging studies were done to assess the extent of the disease. The patient underwent six cycles of chemotherapy and 16 cycles of external radiotherapy, leading to a complete regression of the lesion. To the best of our knowledge, very few NE tumors of the vault has been reported.
