Abstract
- The extra-pulmonary sites of a small cell carcinoma are the salivary glands, pharynx and larynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, colon, rectum, skin and cervix. Primary small cell carcinoma of the esophagus is extremely rare with an incidence ranging from 0.8~2.4% of all esophageal malignancies. There have been approximately 20 cases reported in the Korean literature thus far. However, there has not been a reported case of multiple small cell carcinoma of the esophagus. We report a case of multiple small cell carcinoma of the esophagus in a 61-year-old man who presented with a 2 month-history of progressive dysphagia with a review of the relevant literature.
