[Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the esophagus. Case report with immunohistochemical study].
The authors report a case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lower third of the esophagus. Immunohistochemical study revealed that most tumor cells expressed neuron specific enolase, chromogranin A, carcinoembryonic antigen and glucagon. They insist on the usefulness of this study on biopsies in order to guide therapeutic decision.
