Abstract
A 50-year-old man underwent subtotal esophagectomy for a superficial ulcerated tumor, 1.8 cm in length, located in the middle third of the esophagus. Histological examination of the resected specimen showed a stage I infiltrating neuroendocrine carcinoma. Tumor cells were immunohistochemically positive for chromogranin A, neuron-specific enolase, synaptophysin, protein gene product 9.5 and carcinoembryonic antigen. Postoperative cisplatin-based chemoradiation therapy was administered. Fourteen months after surgery, widely metastatic disease was noted and the patient died 3 months later.
