Squamous cell carcinoma arising from caustic ingestion in the esophagus in young age of very short duration is not reported in literature.
We present the world's first reported case from India of a 14-year-old boy with an associated 1-year history of accidental caustic ingestion who developed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma along with cervical lymph node metastasis, after a thorough review of available literature.
Accidental caustic ingestion may have an unusual presentation and severe complications, but a favorable outcome. Guidance and education are important preventive tools, but the best approach is to restrict access to caustic agents by prohibiting their free commercialization.
文献中未报道过在极短时间内年轻患者因食管腐蚀性物质摄入而引发的鳞状细胞癌。
在全面查阅现有文献后,我们呈现了世界上首例来自印度的病例,一名14岁男孩,有1年意外腐蚀性物质摄入史,并发食管鳞状细胞癌伴颈部淋巴结转移。
意外腐蚀性物质摄入可能有不寻常的表现和严重并发症,但也可能有良好预后。指导和教育是重要的预防手段,但最佳方法是通过禁止腐蚀性物质自由商业化来限制其获取。
