Neuroendocrine Carcinoma Arising in Barrett's Esophagus

Abstract

There is a well-established association between Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Primary esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma is a rare tumor and has not previously been reported in association with Barrett's esophagus. We report such a case with immunohistochemical and electron microscopic findings. Int J Surg Pathol 2(1):43-46, 1994
