Abstract:
Esophageal collision tumor is an extremely rare tumor which defined as the concrescence of two distinct primary neoplasms.The pathobiological mechanism of collision tumors is yet to be understood.Clinical symptoms,endoscopic examination and imaging are all lack of specificity.Diagnosing a collision tumor prior to surgery is difficult.Careful pathological examination is crucial for accurately diagnosing the neoplasms in a collision tumor and ensuring appropriate management and a favorable prognosis.Esophageal collision tumors have been increasingly reported in recent years.With the aim of improving the knowledge level of esophageal collision tumor,the clinical and pathological features of this tumor is needed to be summarized.
