[A Case of Esophageal Carcinoma with Large Intramural Metastasis to the Stomach].

We report a rare case of esophageal carcinoma with gastric wall metastasis. A 73-year-old man with dysphagia underwent endoscopy and upper GI series and chest-abdominal computed tomography, revealing esophageal carcinoma and gastric cancer, which was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma by biopsy. The esophageal carcinoma was located in the lower thoracic esophagus(Lt). Total gastrectomy was performed. The resected specimen showed a type 3 tumor measuring 7×7 cm in the anterior wall of the stomach. Pathologically, the depth of invasion of the stomach was SE. He died 3 months after the operation. Esophageal carcinoma with gastric intramural metastasis is very rare and has a dismal prognosis. We report a rare case of esophageal carcinoma with large intramural metastasis to the stomach.
