“… 1 , 6 , 8 The case reported herein presented an ulcerating lesion on the middle third, and another polypoid in the upper third, which is the site in 4–6% of all described esophageal SCCs. 4 , 8 , 14 The tumor in this topography usually does not cause dysphagia. This patient already presented, at admission, an advanced metastatic disease to well-known sites such as the liver and bones, but, in contrast to the majority of cases, the lungs were not involved.…”

Small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is a well-known aggressive neoplasia, which is usually associated with a poor prognosis. The lung is the most common primary site, but other organs may be involved, especially those of the digestive tract. The authors report the case of a 71-year-old Caucasian, male patient who was admitted because of congestive heart failure and loss of vision accompanied by right proptosis. Skull and sinuses computed tomography showed a tumoral mass involving the posterior region of the right eye, local bones, and paranasal sinuses. Because of severe hemodynamic instability, the patient died and no diagnostic investigation could be performed. Autopsy findings revealed small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the esophagus and metastases to the posterior region of the right ocular globe, which affected the sinuses, the muscles of the ocular region, the orbit bones, the skull, the meninges and the brain, plus the liver, adrenal glands, and the pericardium. This case called the author’s attention to the extent of the metastatic disease in a patient who was firstly interpreted as presenting solely with congestive heart failure. The autopsy findings substantially aid the understanding of the immediate cause of death.

Os tumores neuroendócrinos (TNE) já foram considerados raridades. Atualmente, através de novas técnicas para seu reconhecimento, tem-se identificado um número crescente destas neoplasias, sendo possível estratificá-las em subgrupos, expandindo o espectro dos neoplasmas neuroendócrinos e sua importância na prática cirúrgica atual. A imunocitoquímica, a dosagem de peptídeos e os modernos métodos de imagem proporcionam informações imprescindíveis para um diagnóstico acurado e o tratamento adequado. Este artigo tem por objetivo revisar aspectos referentes aos tumores neuroendócrinos do trato gastrointestinal relativos à história, fisiopatologia, classificação atualizada, diagnóstico e tratamento.
