Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus and Adenocarcinoma of Gastroesophageal Junction, a Rare Coincidence

Simultaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of esophagus and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma has rarely been reported. It is often difficult to diagnose this coexistence preoperatively due to the presence of esophageal stenosis. Herein, we report a patient with esophageal SCC whose gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma was also detected after pathologic examination of the resected specimen.

An estimated 12,100 new cases and 10,900 deaths will occur in 1995 [1]. The diagnosis of esophageal cancer is often made late in the course of the disease in Western countries. Thus, according to the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) system of staging,...
