We describe the rare case of a patient with esophageal small cell carcinoma who was completely cured. A 77-year-old man had small cell carcinoma of the esophagus with extensive lymph node metastases. Treatment comprised a subtotal esophagectomy and extended lymph node dissection. He has survived for more than 7 years with no evidence of recurrent disease. We suggest that radical operations should be considered for future patients if curative resection can be expected.
