Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are the neoplasms that develop from the enterochromaffin cells and can involve different parts of the body. Esophageal NETs are rare with most of them presenting as neuroendocrine cancers (NEC) and are associated with poor prognosis. Here, we present to you a case of an elderly male, who was evaluated for dysphagia and underwent endoscopy and radiological investigations and was diagnosed as esophageal NET on the basis of the histopathology.
