Primary small cell carcinoma of oesophagus with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion in a young child - a case report with review of literature
Abstract
Gastrointestinal malignancies are in general, infrequent among children and oesophageal carcinomas in particular are extremely rare among the paediatric age group. Small Cell Carcinoma of Oesophagus (SCC) is a highly progressive tumour and is associated with a poor prognosis and prone to early dissemination. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) occurs often (10%) as a paraneoplastic syndrome in small cell carcinoma of lung, its occurrence in SCC of oesophagus is very rare even in adults. We report a seven year old boy who had small cell carcinoma of oesophagus who also had SIADH.
