Abstract
The cytologic and histologic features of a rare case of small-cell carcinoma arising in Barrett's esophagus are reported. The patient presented with progressive dysphagia and an endoscopy revealed a distal esophageal mass with luminal constriction. The brushing smears showed small-cell carcinoma and dysplastic glandular epithelium. The concomitant biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of small-cell carcinoma arising in Barrett's esophagus.
