Might be nice...  The styling would be essential.

For personal use you might experiment with the below function?
(I didn't try the resulting latex file).

    (defun rasmus-org-entities-as-latex (file)
      (with-current-buffer (or (get-file-buffer file)
                               (find-file file))
        (erase-buffer)
        (insert (mapconcat (lambda (e)
                             (format "- =\\%s= ::  \\%s \n"
                                     (nth 0 e)
                                     (nth 0 e)))
                           (remove-if-not 'listp
                                          (append org-entities-user 
org-entities))
                           ""))
        (save-buffer)))

    (rasmus-org-entities-as-latex "/tmp/entities.org")
