Carcinoma Of The Esophagus

Pericardial effusions leading to cardiac tamponade have previously been described with esophageal cancer. However, up to eighty percent of these cases have been reported in association with chemotherapy and radiation. Patients with esophageal cancer seldom initially present with pericardial effusion resulting from esophageal pericardial fistula (EPF). Herein, we present the case of a 62-year-old man who presented with pericardial effusion with an unknown etiology at presentation. Subsequently, the patient developed cardiac tamponade and was referred to the tertiary hospital for further evaluation. Computed tomography of the chest revealed a circumferential irregular enhancing lesion at the mid-thoracic esophagus suspecting esophageal cancer with EPF and a moderate amount of pericardial effusion. The patient underwent esophagoscopy and squamous cell carcinoma was found from the esophageal biopsy. An esophageal stent was successfully placed to conceal the perforation. Eventually, the patient died 13 days after admission complicated by refractory septic shock. This case highlights an atypical presentation of esophageal cancer and an unusual cause of cardiac tamponade.

Tertiary Center

The incidence of esophageal cancer varies widely in the world. In the Middle East, Africa, and Asia and parts of Europe, squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus dominates the esophageal cancer landscape. Worldwide the rates are highest in Northern China, South Africa, Turkey and Iran. In the United States, the black population has a five-fold higher incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma than the white population. To determine the prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus in a single tertiary center in South Africa. Patients referred to Gastroenterology Division of Steve Biko Academic Hospital for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were recruited. Those with a known diagnoses of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus were recorded and those with suspicious lesions had biopsies done. These were then evaluated by an experienced histopathologist. 6118 patients were recruited. Squamous cell carcinoma was found in 59 patients giving us a prevalence of 0.96% 95%CI. The cancer was found mainly in back elderly males. The prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus in this single center study is 0.96%, 95% confidence interval and is a disease of black elderly males as seen elsewhere. Bigger multicenter studies are needed to further clarify this findings.
