title: [Carcinoid tumor of the esophagus. A rare differential diagnosis in submucosal esophageal tumor].
abstract: In a 63-yr-old male endoscopy revealed an occlusive submucosal tumor in the upper esophagus. The surgically enucleated tumor was identified histologically and immunohistochemically as a carcinoid. The tumor had no endocrine activity. The localisation of these tumors in the esophagus is an extremely rare condition.
