This article describes an unusual case of a submucosal esophageal cancer, which should not typically arise and should not have the appearance that the present case had. This lesion was diagnosed only after endoscopic submucosal excavation was performed, given that the lesion was incorrectly diagnosed as an esophageal leiomyoma. The highlight of this case is that esophageal cancer can present as a benign submucosal tumor of the esophagus.

Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is a rare condition characterized by demyelination and necrosis of the corpus callosum, most commonly associated with chronic alcohol consumption. However, it can also occur in non-alcoholic patients and may present secondary to other underlying conditions. We report a case of a 52-year-old male with no history of alcohol use or significant comorbidities, presenting with impaired consciousness and severe malnutrition.

The FAT atypical cadherin 1 (FAT1) gene is the ortholog of the fat gene and encodes the protocadherin FAT1. FAT1 belongs to the cadherin superfamily, a group of full-length membrane proteins that contain cadherin-like repeats. In various types of human cancer, FAT1 is one of the most commonly mutated genes, and is considered to be an emerging cancer biomarker and a potential target for novel therapies.

Data on Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal cancer (EC) outcomes in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are limited. We aimed to determine the risk of prevalent BE (<1 year after endoscopy), incident BE (≥1 year after endoscopy), and incident EC in patients with versus without EoE, and to identify predictors of BE/EC in EoE patients. We identified adult patients in the Merative MarketScan Database who underwent first-time upper endoscopy between 2008 and 2020.
