Abstract

We experienced a case of basaloid-squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus with muscle metastasis. A 58-year-old man was admitted to the department of Orthopedic Surgery with a left shoulder tumor. It was diagnosed as a metastatic shoulder tumor by biopsy. Moreover, thickening of the wall of the lower esophagus was detected by computed tomography, and carcinoma of the esophagus was diagnosed by endoscopy. A curative operation for the shoulder tumor was performed. Two months later, he was operated on for esophageal cancer in our department. The patient had been well for 6 months after surgery, but brain metastasis was occurred after that. Histopathologically the tumor was basaloidsquamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. About 30 cases of this carcinoma have been reported in Japa. We think that our case is very rare because of the muscle metastasis.
