Abstract：Primary small cell carcinoma of the esophagus(PSCCE)is a high-grade neuroendocrine tumor originated from the esophagus,and its incidence accounts for 0.4%～3.1%of esophageal cancers.Due to its extremely low incidence,there is currently no standardized diagnosis and treatment modality for PSCCE.With the increasing number of studies and case reports on PSCCE,this review will focus on summarizing the clinical features and diagnostic and therapeutic studies of PSCCE,which will help to better solve the clinical problems.
