A case of primary carcinoma of the esophagus is presented that consisted of poorly differentiated small-cell carcinoma. The patient underwent endoscopic treatment, first with an Nd:YAG laser and, finally, with bougienage and the insertion of a prosthesis in order to relieve dysphagia and improve the nutritional status and quality of life. Even though it is generally uncommon for laser therapy to be chosen as a primary mode of treatment, the results obtained should permit to overcome this lack of confidence in the choice of laser treatment for small-cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
本文报告一例原发性食管癌，其组织学类型为低分化小细胞癌。患者接受了内镜治疗，首先使用钕钇铝石榴石激光，最后进行探条扩张并置入假体，以缓解吞咽困难，改善营养状况和生活质量。尽管激光治疗通常不被选作主要治疗方式，但所取得的结果应能消除对食管小细胞癌选择激光治疗缺乏信心的问题。
