Verrucous carcinoma of the esophagus is a very rare esophageal cancer, with only 12 cases reported in the literature. Although this cancer is slow growing and rarely metastasizes, it is associated with a significantly high mortality. Because of the disease's insidious onset and its rarity, diagnosis has often been late, after local invasion has produced significant symptoms. We present the thirteenth reported case of verrucous carcinoma of the esophagus and support resection as the best form of treatment for this disease.
食管疣状癌是一种非常罕见的食管癌，文献中仅报道过12例。尽管这种癌症生长缓慢且很少发生转移，但它的死亡率却显著偏高。由于该病起病隐匿且罕见，诊断往往较晚，此时局部浸润已产生明显症状。我们报告了第13例食管疣状癌病例，并支持将手术切除作为该病的最佳治疗方式。
