Malignant esophageal neoplasms other than squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma are uncommon and include endocrine tumors, lymphoid malignancies, melanoma, malignant stromal tumors, and secondary tumors (metastases). Imaging, though not diagnostic in many cases, helps in selecting the appropriate treatment strategy by determining the anatomic extent of the tumor and locoregional and distant spread. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of the imaging features of these uncommon esophageal malignancies.
除鳞状细胞癌和腺癌外的恶性食管肿瘤并不常见，包括内分泌肿瘤、淋巴恶性肿瘤、黑色素瘤、恶性间质瘤和继发性肿瘤（转移瘤）。影像学检查虽然在许多情况下不能确诊，但通过确定肿瘤的解剖范围以及局部和远处扩散情况，有助于选择合适的治疗策略。在本文中，我们对这些不常见的食管恶性肿瘤的影像学特征进行了全面综述。
