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
