Abstract:
Basaloid-squamous cell carcinoma, a biologically high-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma, is predominantly located at upper aerodigestive tract but it is extremely rare in the esophagus. Recently we experienced a case of basaloid-squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus. A 64 year-old man was referred to our hospital because of mucosal nodularity at 35 cm apart from the incisor in endoscopic examination. Result of Biopsy was squamous cell carcinoma. Left transthoracic esophagectomy was performed. Histologically, the lesion of tumor was basaloid- squamous cell carcinoma and no lymph node metastasis was found.
