Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the esophagus is a rare and aggressive malignancy. It is challenging to manage NEC due to its rarity. NEC may be asymptomatic or present with various symptoms such as dysphagia, abdominal discomfort, weight loss, melena, hot flushes, or diarrhea. We present the case of a 55-year-old male with a large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the esophagus. His aggressive and rapid progression of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the esophagus resulted in a poor clinical outcome.
食管神经内分泌癌（NEC）是一种罕见且侵袭性强的恶性肿瘤。由于其罕见性，管理NEC具有挑战性。NEC可能无症状，或表现为吞咽困难、腹部不适、体重减轻、黑便、潮热或腹泻等各种症状。我们报告一例55岁男性食管大细胞神经内分泌癌病例。他的食管神经内分泌癌侵袭性强且进展迅速，导致临床结局不佳。
