Subglottic location for small cell carcinoma is extremely rare with patient presenting with dyspnea, hoarseness and dysphagia. Small-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas are very aggressive neoplasms. We present here a case report of this rare tumor in a 50 year old female. Keywords: Subglottis, Neuroendocrine cancer, Female, Immunohistochemistry, Radiotherapy, Prognosis
