Esophageal Metastatic Adenocarcinoma Diagnosed with Endoscopic Ultrasound
Metastasis to the esophagus from a distant primary cancer is a rare manifestation in a patient with a history of oncological disease presenting with obstructive upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Computed tomography of the thorax or esophagogastroduodenoscopy can be non-diagnostic as the disease tends to be submucosal. In such a situation, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (...
متن کاملEndoscopic management of esophageal discontinuity.
BACKGROUND The management of esophageal discontinuity remains challenging and often involves complex reconstructive surgeries. METHODS AND RESULTS We describe a unique and successful treatment of esophageal discontinuity using a modification of the natural orifice translumenal surgery (NOTES) approach in a patient presenting with long-standing esophageal discontinuity resulting from an iatrog...
متن کاملEndoscopic management of esophageal strictures.
Esophageal strictures remain a commonly encountered clinical entity. These strictures arise because of a wide variety of benign and malignant conditions. Dysphagia, the most common symptom, occurs when a stricture causes greater than 50% of the esophageal lumen to be obstructed as a result of benign or malignant disease. From a treatment point of view, some esophageal strictures are readily tre...
متن کاملEpidemiology, Diagnosis, and Management of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma.
Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is rapidly increasing in incidence in Western cultures. Barrett's esophagus is the presumed precursor lesion for this cancer. Several other risk factors for this cancer have been described, including chronic heartburn, tobacco use, white race, and obesity. Despite these known associations, most patients with EAC present with symptoms of dysphagia from late-stage ...
متن کاملEvaluation and Endoscopic Management of Esophageal SMT
Submucosal tumors (SMTs) are those that originate from cells constituting the submucosal layer and the muscularis propria and are covered by normal mucosa. Esophageal SMT is a rare disease accounting for less than 1% of overall esophageal tumors, but recent wide use of endoscopy has led to a rapid increase in incident cases of such tumors. Esophageal SMTs are positive in 90% or more of the case...
