The landscape of neoplastic pathology of the oesophagus is dominated by malignancies of epithelial origin, in particular by oesophageal adenocarcinoma and oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However, several other histopathological variants can be distinguished, some associated with peculiar histopathological profiles and prognostic behaviours and frequently underrecognized in clinical practice. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive characterization of the main morphological and clinical features of these rare variants of oesophageal neoplastic lesions.
食管肿瘤病理学的格局主要由上皮来源的恶性肿瘤主导,特别是食管腺癌和食管鳞状细胞癌。然而,还可以区分出其他几种组织病理学变体,其中一些与特定的组织病理学特征和预后行为有关,并且在临床实践中经常被低估。本综述的目的是全面描述这些罕见的食管肿瘤病变的主要形态学和临床特征。
