Esophageal adenocarcinomas usually develop in Barrett's esophagus, typically through the metaplasia-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence, but adenocarcinomas can occur from heterotopic gastric mucosa in cervical esophagus (inlet patch). This report describes the first case of synchronous presentation of adenocarcinoma arising from cervical inlet patch and Barrett's esophagus-related dysplasia in a 76-year-old man. Surveillance CT detected a 3-cm polypoid mass in the cervical esophagus. Endoscopic biopsies confirmed a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the cervical esophagus. Barrett's esophagus was present also in the lower esophagus. Histologic examination of the surgically resected specimen revealed the polypoid mass as composed of tubular adenocarcinoma, and was associated with non-neoplastic columnar mucosa representing pre-existing inlet patch. Another isolated cervical inlet patch with intestinal metaplasia was also recognized. In the lower esophagus, high-grade dysplasia was noted within the Barrett's esophagus. Immunohistochemically, the adenocarcinoma associated with inlet patch had intestinal immunophenotype (CDX2-, CD10- and MUC2-positive), whereas the Barrett's esophagus-related high-grade dysplasia showed mixed immunophenotype (MUC5AC- and MUC6-positive, with scattered MUC2-positive goblet cells). Previous studies and our findings suggest that intestinal metaplasia might predispose to the development of adenocarcinoma in the inlet patch. Therefore, endoscopists and pathologists should be aware of rare malignant transformation of inlet patches, especially those with intestinal metaplasia.
食管腺癌通常发生于巴雷特食管,一般通过化生-发育异常-癌的序列发展,但腺癌也可起源于颈段食管的异位胃黏膜(入口区)。本报告描述了首例76岁男性患者颈段入口区起源的腺癌与巴雷特食管相关发育异常同时出现的病例。监测CT在颈段食管发现一个3厘米的息肉样肿物。内镜活检确诊为颈段食管腺癌。下段食管也存在巴雷特食管。手术切除标本的组织学检查显示息肉样肿物由管状腺癌构成,并与代表先前存在的入口区的非肿瘤性柱状黏膜相关。还识别出另一个孤立的伴有肠化生的颈段入口区。在下段食管,巴雷特食管内可见高级别发育异常。免疫组化显示,与入口区相关的腺癌具有肠免疫表型(CDX2、CD10和MUC2阳性),而巴雷特食管相关的高级别发育异常表现为混合免疫表型(MUC5AC和MUC6阳性,散在MUC2阳性杯状细胞)。既往研究及我们的发现提示,肠化生可能易使入口区发生腺癌。因此,内镜医师和病理医师应意识到入口区罕见的恶性转化,尤其是那些伴有肠化生的情况。
