Metastasis to the oesophagus is most frequently described in association with lung or breast cancer. Diagnosis is frequently complicated as often only normal tissue is present in endoscopic biopsy specimens. Although oesophagectomy for metastasis has been described, few patients are suitable for curative resection. We report the case of a 62-year-old man who developed an oesophageal metastasis from colorectal cancer and review the available literature.
食管癌转移最常被描述为与肺癌或乳腺癌相关。诊断常常很复杂,因为在内镜活检标本中通常仅存在正常组织。尽管已经报道了针对转移灶的食管切除术,但很少有患者适合进行根治性切除。我们报告了一例62岁男性发生结直肠癌食管转移的病例,并对现有文献进行了综述。
