The authors present the case of a primitive small cell esophageal carcinoma. It is a rare and biologically aggressive neoplasm which occurs mainly in the elder male. The case observed concerns a 69 year old female treated with surgical therapy consisting in esophagectomy and intrathoracic esophagealgastrictype plasty. Diagnostic problems either histological or immunohistochemical and the choice of the following treatment are discussed. The cases of patients treated in other Surgical or Oncological centers are reported. Therapeutic orientation adopted by our group is stressed. In this case we have chosen surgical therapy because a sure diagnosis come be given only on the base of the attent histological examination of the entire specimen (endoscopic biopsies are not sufficient); survival data reported are in favour of surgical treatment where secondary metastases are not evident in the respect of antiblastic therapy and/or radiotherapy. Neoplastic recurrence occurred ten months after and a metallic endoscopic esophageal prothesis was positioned. The patient died 1 year after surgery by mediastinal syndrome.
