Achalasia, a rare motility disorder of the esophagus, is generally accepted as a premalignant disorder. This paper presents the case of a 72-year-old male with achalasia and synchronous superficial esophageal cancer who experienced dysphagia symptoms for five years. As achalasia is associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer, both can be treated simultaneously if detected at the time of diagnosis. Achalasia and synchronous esophageal cancer are rarely detected and treated endoscopically. This paper reports a case of concurrent successful treatment.
贲门失弛缓症是一种罕见的食管动力障碍疾病，通常被认为是一种癌前病变。本文报告了一例 72 岁男性贲门失弛缓症伴同时性食管浅表癌病例，该患者吞咽困难症状已持续五年。由于贲门失弛缓症与食管癌风险增加相关，如果在诊断时发现，两者可以同时治疗。贲门失弛缓症和同时性食管癌很少通过内镜发现和治疗。本文报告了一例同时成功治疗的病例。
