Small cell ("oat cell") carcinoma of the esophagus is a rare disease: only seventy-four patients have been reported in the world literature. We add two new patients, one of whom was studied radiologically. Since oat cell carcinoma originates from the neuro-ectoderm, it is not surprising to see such examples arising outside the lung and in particular from the digestive tract.
食管小细胞（“燕麦细胞”）癌是一种罕见疾病：世界文献中仅报道过74例患者。我们新增了两名患者，其中一名进行了放射学研究。由于燕麦细胞癌起源于神经外胚层，因此在肺外尤其是消化道出现此类病例也就不足为奇了。
