A case of primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the esophagus is reported and a total of 15 cases was reviewed. There were 9 men, although earlier reports indicated the disease was more common in women. The lesion was located in the middle third of the esophagus in 10 cases. The possibility of tumor development from embryonal rests of the tracheobronchial tree in the esophagus is discussed. The prognosis of adenoid cystic carcinomas is not well known, but the treatment and prognosis appear similar to those of epidermoid carcinomas of the esophagus.
本文报告了1例原发性食管腺样囊性癌病例，并对总共15例病例进行了回顾。患者中有9名男性，尽管早期报告表明该疾病在女性中更为常见。10例患者的病变位于食管中三分之一段。文中讨论了肿瘤可能起源于食管内气管支气管树的胚胎残余。腺样囊性癌的预后尚不清楚，但治疗方法和预后似乎与食管鳞状细胞癌相似。
