Abstract:
Basaloid-squamous carcinoma of the esophagus is rare and similiar to the solid type of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary gland. The origin of this tumor is unknown. The tumor was located in the lower third of the esophagus. The case of basaloid-squamous carcinoma consisted of submucosal tumor showing carcinoma with a basaloid pattern and focal squamous differentiation associated with squamous cell carcinoma or carcinoma in situ of the esophageal mucosa. A few submucosal tumor cells were positive for cytokeratin.
