JUANMARTINENA, José Francisco et al. Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) of the gastroesophageal junction: a case report and review of the literature. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.2, pp.160-162. ISSN 1130-0108.  https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2016.4315/2016.

Esophageal cancer is the fourth most common neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. It is responsible for 1.7% of all deaths related with cancer. The two main types of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Other types of esophageal cancer are uncommon. We present a 57-year-old man admitted to the hospital with nausea and vomiting due to a high-grade malignant mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction. The patient underwent Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy and adyuvant chemoradiotherapy. At 8-month follow-up he was alive without evidence of recurrence.

Keywords : Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma; Mixed exocrine-endocrine carcinoma; Gastroesophageal junction; Carcinoid tumor; Gut.
