This study was about a 70-year-old man with progressive dysphagia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a 1.2-cm circumferential ulcerative mass at the level of 23 cm from the upper incisors in the upper esophagus. The mass was first diagnosed as a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. McKeown esophagogastrectomy was performed with intention to treat the lesion. The pathological examination showed an esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma that was mixed with squamous cell carcinoma component. In this report, we present a unique case of the extremely rare esophageal neoplasm, an esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma with squamous cell carcinoma component.

We present a case of a 64-year-old man who presented with a rapidly growing tumor in the left buttock and intergluteal cleft area, which was affected by hidradenitis suppurativa. The patient was on tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors for hidradenitis suppurativa for 2 years prior to the development of the mass. Initial biopsy of the mass showed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with spindle cells and positive epithelial immunomarkers. Subsequent excisional biopsy of the tumor showed an infiltrating poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma composed of islands of atypical sarcomatoid spindle cells. Squamous cell carcinoma arising in hidradenitis suppurativa is a rare complication which may occur secondary to chronic inflammation and epidermal hyperproliferation in hidradenitis suppurativa–affected areas.

Abstract Background Oesophageal submucosal tumours are usually benign. We report a rare case of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma presenting as a submucosal tumour. Case presentation A 58-year-old man undergoing screening oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy was found to have a smooth-surfaced 0.6-cm sized submucosal tumour in the oesophagus 30 cm from the incisor. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed the tumour to be located in the muscularis mucosa; the lesion was heterogeneously hypoechoic and had a clear boundary. With a provisional diagnosis of leiomyoma, the tumour was removed by endoscopic submucosal dissection. Pathological examination showed it to be a moderately differentiated infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma, with normal overlying squamous epithelium. Immunohistochemistry indicated that it was caused by malignant transformation in mucosal glandular duct epithelium. Positron emission tomography–computer tomography showed no tumour spread to any other site. The patient was treated by oesophageal resection. Conclusion The clinician should be aware that oesophageal submucosal tumours with smooth overlying mucosa may not always be benign; malignancy must be ruled out.

Abstract Background We sometimes experience cases of cervical esophageal cancer which requires laryngectomy due to spread of cancer to larynx. We report a case of esophageal cancer resection with preservation of larynx using intraoperative endoscopic submucosal dissection. Methods The patient was a 59-year-old woman who had dysphagia. She had received total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction for gastric cancer in 2001, chemoradiation (61.2Gy) for esophageal cancer in 2008. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) was performed for the carcinoma in situ of cervical esophagus in 2016. This time superficial 0-IIc tumor was observed at the same site of the scar of APC, and a biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma. An endoscopic findings revealed two 0-IIc lesions at distance of 18–22 cm, and 32–34 cm from the incisors, and biopsy resulted in a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. Since tumor was close to the esophageal orifice, the tumor invasion to the larynx was suspected. On the other hand, there were no obvious findings of the submucosal layer invasion, and the both tumor were thought to be limited to the epithelium or lamina propria mucosae (EP/LPM). We performed mediastinoscopic and thoracoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy, subcutaneous ileocolic reconstruction. Results After confirming the tumor invasion to the esophageal orifice by chromoendoscopy with 1% Lugol's iodine solution, we dissected the whole circumference of esophagus in submucosal layer just above the tumor by ESD, put an incision outside of esophageal wall, and resected the esophagus. We preserved short length of muscle layer and performed reconstruction with hypopharynx-ileum anastomosis. Pathological examination revealed squamous cell carcinoma, pT1a-EP, ly0, v0, pPM0, pDM0, pIM0, and curative resection was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion There were no reports of successful larynx-preserving surgery for cervical esophageal cancer using intraoperative ESD. When the tumor was limited in the mucosa, esophagectomy with intraoperative ESD may enable larynx preservation even if the tumor invaded to the esophageal orifice.

Abstract Background Basaloid cell carcinoma of the esophagus (BSCCE) is a rare (0.07–4%) poorly-differentiated variety of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), more aggressive and with a worse prognosis than typical SCC. There are no published studies on the best therapeutic option for these tumors or on of the effectiveness of Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapie; so there is no standard treatment. We describe the characteristics and the therapeutic strategy applied to a patient with an avanced basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the distal esophagus. Methods A 70-year-old woman with dysphagia and severe malnutrition was diagnosed with locally advanced esophageal cáncer of lower esophagus The biopsy indicated moderately differentiated basaloid cell carcinoma. The clinical diagnosis was cT4NxM0, We decided multimodal treatment with curative intent: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapie at a dose of 41.4 Gy and concomitant carboplatin and pacliotaxel 5 cycles (CROSS scheme) plus surgery. Results PET-TAC post-neoadjuvant re-evaluation showed partial morphological response (reduction of tumor metabolism in 34.7%). 6 weeks after radiochemotherapy we performed a three fields total esophagectomy. Postoperative course without incidents. The pathological diagnosis was BASALOID cell CARCINOMA located in distal esophagus of 10 cm long with 30% tumor residual; it affects gastro-oesophageal junction. Stage TNM 7th ed: ypT3 N0 (0/17) L0V1R0 Our patient is fine and without evidence of recurrence after 15 meses. Conclusion Basal squamous cell carcinoma is more common in men around 60 years old, being rare in older women. They are located more frequently in the middle than in lower esophagus. They are tumors of poor prognosis (poorly differentiated, locally advanced and with an aggressive biological behavior that predisposes to early metastasis) although the latest publications relate the prognosis especially with the stage of the tumor. There are no published data about the use of Neoadjuvant treatment for these tumors. We have carried out a multimodal treatment (Cross scheme) followed by surgery with clinical, radiological (PET-TAC) and pathological response (30% of residual tumor in the piece) CONCLUSION The multimodal treatment with Cross scheme and surgery was useful in patients with Basaloid tumor of the esophagus can be considered for patients with this type of tumor.

Abstract   Lymph node(LN)metastasis is a common metastasis mode of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The purpose of this study is to explore whether recurrent laryngeal nerve LNs metastasis can be used as a predictor of cervical LN dissection. Methods The postoperative pathological examination results of patients with ESCC who underwent three-field LN dissection in Sichuan Cancer Hospital from January 2010 to January 2016 were retrospectively collected to explore the relationship between the recurrent laryngeal nerve LN metastasis and cervical LN metastasis. At the same time, analyzed survival data to determine whether cervical LN dissection should be performed on patients with thoracic ESCC. Results Among all the study subjects, 53.3% (72/135) patients had metastasis in the thoracic recurrent laryngeal nerve LNs, and 36.3% (49/135) patients had metastasis in the cervical LN. 44.4% (32/72) Patients with metastasis in the thoracic recurrent laryngeal nerve LN tended to have a high incidence of cervical LN metastasis (P = 0.035). Subgroup analysis showed that 60% (81/135) patients had upper thoracic ESCC, and 46.9% (38/81) patients had cervical LN metastasis (P = 0.002). Survival analysis showed that patients with cervical LN metastasis had poor survival (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve LN metastasis was an independent risk factor for survial(P = 0.029). Conclusion Patients with bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve LN metastasis in upper thoracic ESCC can be used as a predictor of cervical LN dissection.
