Abstract
- Primary small cell carcinoma of the esophagus is a very rare cell type in esophageal cancer and an extremely aggresive tumor with grave prognosis. Because of the highly malignant potency, chemotherapy for the primary therapy of small cell carcinoma is accepted generally. We experienced a case of small cell carcinoma of the lower esophagus. The patient was a 53 year-old male with regional lymph node metastasis and managed with complete resection and chemotherapy.
