Squamous carcinoma in situ of the oesophagus in a patient with achalasia.

چکیده
There is a strong aetiological association between achalasia and squamous carcinoma of the oesophagus, particularly of the middle third. Until now all reported cases have been of advanced tumours, 80% of which have been found unsuitable for resection. We report the first case of squamous carcinoma in situ in a patient with achalasia. It is reasonable to suppose that all tumours go through this "early" stage and that prompt detection may lead to higher resection rates and improved survival.
