ABSTRACT
Small cell carcinoma of the esophagus is a rare disease. Its incidence varies between 0.05 and 7.6%. This report describes such a case in a Saudi patient, with its metastasis to the liver exhibiting a rather unusual morphologic feature. Small cell carcinoma of the esophagus has not been previously reported from Saudi Arabia, despite the relative frequency of esophageal cancer in the indigenous population

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease of worldwide distribution. The disease has never been reported previously from the Middle East, perhaps due to its infrequent occurrence among the indigenous population of the region. This paper reports a case of Rhinosporidiosis in an Arab patient and provides an account of its clinicopathologic features
