A case of oesophageal basaloid carcinoma is reported. The disease was revealed as a brain metastasis and was found ad initium to be in an advanced stage, with evidence of brain, lung and liver metastasis. The treatment performed was palliative subtotal oesophagectomy followed by roentgen therapy. A year and a half later, the patient is still alive and in home care follow up. The authors end stressing this uncommon presentation for an oesophageal neoplasm and the rarity of its histologic type. They also stress the role of surgery, although palliative, in long survival, very unlike the rapid evolution of the few published cases.
本文报告了一例食管基底样癌病例。该疾病最初表现为脑转移，确诊时已处于晚期，伴有脑、肺和肝转移的证据。所采取的治疗方法是姑息性食管次全切除术，随后进行放射治疗。一年半后，患者仍然存活并接受家庭护理随访。作者最后强调了这种食管肿瘤不常见的表现形式及其组织学类型的罕见性。他们还强调了手术的作用，尽管是姑息性手术，但能使患者长期存活，这与少数已发表病例的快速进展情况大不相同。
