一位46岁的白人女人赠送给她的初级保健提供了一年的喉咙痛和吞咽困难到固体食物的历史上没有显著既往史或家族史。她报告远程吸烟史在她十几岁和稀有饮酒。Workup included a barium swallow study with a persistent filling defect in the upper esophagus measuring 5 cm
×1.8 cm originating from the posterior right wall of the esophagus. Differential diagnosis included both benign and malignant lesions of the upper esophagus. Upper endoscopy with endoscopic ultrasound revealed an ulcerated, friable mass extending from 15 to 19 cm from the incisors with evidence of invasion into the muscularis propria and suspicion for regional node involvement (Figures

在颈部PET/CT显示食管高代谢性肿块并邻近右侧气管旁和上纵膈淋巴结后,患者分期为T3N1M0。胸部、腹部和骨盆的CT扫描显示远处转移阴性。根据Ilsen方案(顺铂30mg /m)给予6周明确/新辅助放化疗2伊立替康65 mg/m2上周1,2,4,和辐射的5)。Radiotherapy consisted of a total of 64.8 Gy to the primary esophageal tumor and adjacent nodes plus 39.6 Gy to superior mediastinal nodes. Follow-up PET/CT 14 weeks after completion of definitive chemoradiation therapy revealed continued hypermetabolic activity in the proximal esophagus and repeat upper endoscopy revealed residual tumor. Otolaryngology performed a cervical esophagectomy, lymph node dissection, and left radial forearm microvascular free tissue transfer reconstruction of the cervical esophagus. The pathologic specimen contained moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the esophagus undermining the squamous epithelium, with metastasis to two of six paratracheal lymph nodes, but no evidence of Barrett’s esophagus or identifiable vestiges of heterotopic gastric mucosa.
