Dysphagia secondary to neuroendocrine carcinoma: a rare esophageal tumor

We present two clinical cases, a 68-year-old male and a 55-year-old female, who are being studied for progressive solid food dysphagia. The initial gastroscopy revealed a polypoid lesion in the first case and a partially stenosing lesion in the second case. Both lesions were located in the mid-esoph...

Zusammenfassung:We present two clinical cases, a 68-year-old male and a 55-year-old female, who are being studied for progressive solid food dysphagia. The initial gastroscopy revealed a polypoid lesion in the first case and a partially stenosing lesion in the second case. Both lesions were located in the mid-esophagus and presented a normal mucosa. Histological diagnosis confirmed an esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of large cell and small cell types, respectively.
