A 82-year-old man was admitted into our hospital complaining of dysphagia. Endoscopic examination revealed an elevated tumor in the middle esophagus, and biopsy revealed carcinosarcoma. He underwent chemo-radiotherapy, and the size of tumor decreased remarkably and almost disappeared 7 months later. However, a metastatic lesion appeared 11 months later, and eventually he died. Autopsy revealed a sarcomatous element in the metastatic part, but the primary lesion showed no recurrence. We report herein this rare case of carcinosarcoma of the esophagus that was treated with chemo-radiotherapy.
一名82岁男性因吞咽困难入院。内镜检查发现食管中段有一隆起性肿瘤，活检显示为癌肉瘤。他接受了放化疗，7个月后肿瘤大小显著减小，几乎消失。然而，11个月后出现了转移灶，最终患者死亡。尸检发现转移部位有肉瘤成分，但原发灶未复发。我们在此报告这例经放化疗治疗的罕见食管癌肉瘤病例。
