Long survival in small-cell (neuroendocrine) carcinoma of the mediastinum.

Extrapulmonary small-cell carcinoma is uncommon. We report a rare case of small-cell carcinoma located in the mediastinum. The patient is still alive 6 years after combined local resection and chemotherapy. This seems to be the first reported case with such long survival.
