BACKGROUND
Esophageal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is extremely rare; it was not serially followed-up by endoscopy.
OBJECTIVE
Our purpose was to report the endoscopic findings according to the progression of esophageal metastatic HCC.
DESIGN
Case report.
RESULTS
In the review of the cases, submucosal tumor or polypoid mass were the most common endoscopic findings, and the locations of esophageal metastatic tumors are variable. The tumors had progressed from a submucosal mass to a polypoid mass in the current case.
LIMITATION
Small number of cases.
CONCLUSIONS
The endoscopic findings of esophageal metastasis of HCC may be changed from submucosal mass to polypoid mass.
