Pathologically, these tumors are poorly differentiated carcinomas with distinctive cytoarchitectural features and are often immunoreactive for markers of neuroendocrine differentiation.

Our previous study revealed that neuroendocrine differentiation in colorectal cancer is one of the important factors leading to worse prognosis.

Minimal evidence of neuroendocrine differentiation in either tumor was found with any of the usual immunohistochemical markers used for this purpose.
