Abstract

Small cell carcinoma is a highly malignant esophageal tumor composed of anaplastic small cells with features very similar to those of its pulmonary counterpart. The prognosis is poorer than that of squamous carcinoma of the esophagus because of its propensity of generalized spread and metastasis. Once the diagnosis of small cell carcinoma was established, surgery should be undertaken as early as possible. We have described an experience of small cell carcinoma of the lower esophagus in a 72 year old male patient with a review of the literatures regarding treatment methods and prognosis.
