A Case of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Esophagus

Abstract
|
|
|
Adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC) is well known in the salivary gland, but ACC of the esophagus is a relatively rare lesion which characteristically exibit more aggressive clinical behavior and intensive widespread metastasis. Although many authors
think
that this tunor arises from the submucosal esophageal gland, its histogenesis is still in dispute.
We have recently experienced a 66-year-old man who had ACC of the esophagus with chief complaint of hemtemesis. The tumor was discovered incidentally together with gastric ulcer by esophagogastroscopy. The tumor exhibted a large lobulated
fungating
appearance. Morphologically similar to ACC in the salivary glands and localized in the submucosal layer. The patient is still alive and well 12 months after surgery.
