Oligometastatic Mixed Neuroendocrine Adenocarcinoma of the Esophago-Gastric Junction: A Case of Successful Multidisciplinary Management, the Lessons Learnt and Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT: Background: Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs) of the esophago-gastric junction (EGJ) are rare aggressive malignant neoplasms, with, currently, limited evidence regarding the appropriate therapeutic approach. Methods: Herein, we report multimodal treatment management of a patient with oligometastatic MiNEN of EGJ (Siewert III), discuss the lessons learnt, and provide a review of the literature. Results: A 69-year-old female was diagnosed with a locally advanced EGJ tumor and three liver metastases (cT4, cN+, M1). Although the initial histology from biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma, the histopathology of a lymph node biopsy from staging laparoscopy revealed infiltration of neuroendocrine carcinoma cells. Thus, the diagnosis of a mixed neuroendocrin
