Because knowledge about esophageal carcinoid is based primarily on case reports, the treatment of choice has not been settled. We report here on a localized carcinoid tumor in the esophagogastric junction. As our initial biopsy was nearly equal for the excision, we only performed coagulation ablation therapy instead of a wide excision which is traditionally recommended. The patient is free of recurrence so far during 50-month follow-up. Our report suggests that esophageal carcinoids may be not particularly associated with a poor prognosis.<br><br><strong>Keywords</strong>: <em>carcinoid tumor; esophagus; argon plasma coagulation. </em>| <strong><a title="Click Here for PubMed" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term= 28029676">PubMed</a></strong></p>}, number={204}, journal={Journal of Nepal Medical Association}, author={Kim, Na Rae and Kim, Yoon Jae and Hwang, In Cheol}, year={2016}, month={Dec.}, pages={97–99} }
