Gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (GNEC) is a rare histological subtype of gastric cancer, which is categorized into small cell and large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas. It is characterized by strong invasiveness and poor prognosis. Mixed large and small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (L/SCNEC) is an extremely rare pathological type of gastric cancer, and there have been no reports on this situation until now.
