Esophageal neuroendocrine tumor: A rare finding

Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors of the esophagus are exceedingly rare, with few cases reported in the literature. Here, we present a patient with a complaint of dysphagia who was found to have this rare finding. Due to the lack of available data, little information exists regarding treatment for this disease. Our patient was successfully treated with combination chemotherapy and radiation with regression of disease on follow-up imaging. We seek to increase awareness of this exceedingly rare but dangerous disease presentation through sharing our unexpected finding.
