title: [Small-cell carcinoma ("oat cell" carcinoma) of the esophagus, a rare lesion: report of 2 new cases].
abstract: Small cell ("oat cell") carcinoma of the esophagus is a rare disease: only seventy-four patients have been reported in the world literature. We add two new patients, one of whom was studied radiologically. Since oat cell carcinoma originates from the neuro-ectoderm, it is not surprising to see such examples arising outside the lung and in particular from the digestive tract.
