A Case of Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Polypoid Type in the Esophagus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is very rare. Further, polypoid type of esophageal cancer is also rare. We have recently treated a case of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma which presented as a 1.3-cm esophageal polyp. A 48-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of a polypoid mass at 36 cm distance from the upper incisor on endoscopic examination, and the result of the biopsy was basaloid squamous cell carcinoma. The patient underwent Ivor Lewis operation with lymph node dissection. Two basaloid squamous cell carcinomas, of 1.3 and 0.4 cm, were diagnosed in the final pathologic examination. Regular periodic follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis in the 5-month postoperative period.

Introduction: A rare case of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) of the larynx, which has not been previously reported, is described. Case Report: A 60-year-old man was presented to the Otolaryngology Department with progressive dyspnoea and dysphagia to solids for over a period of 1 week. Direct laryngoscopy revealed a tumour at the laryngeal aspect of the epiglottis, which prolapsed into...
متن کاملEndotracheal metastasis from basaloid squamous carcinoma of the esophagus – A case report Running Head: Endotracheal metastasis of esophageal cancer
Endobronchial metastases from extrapulmonary neoplasms are rare events and there is no report on the metastasis originating from esophageal cancer. Basaloid squamous carcinoma of the esophagus is a rare histologic type, which is known as biologically aggressive phenotype. We describe a rare case of metachronous endotracheal metastasis originating from esophageal basaloid squamous carcinoma. A 7...
متن کاملA long-surviving patient with advanced esophageal basaloid squamous cell carcinoma treated only with radiotherapy: case report and literature review
BACKGROUND Esophageal basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (EBSCC) is a rare malignant disease. Advanced EBSCC (AEBSCC) has a poorer prognosis than the more common esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, but no treatment policy has yet been established. This is the first reported case with AEBSCC treated only with radiotherapy. Thus, our long-surviving patient merits consideration. We therefore reviewe...
متن کاملE-cadherin Promoter Methylation Comparison and Correlation with the Pathological Features of the Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Esophagus in the High Risk Region
E-cadherin is among tumor suppressor genes which mostly subjects to the down-regulation in squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus (SCCE). The gene is tightly associated with the tumor invasion and metastasis in multiple human cancers, especially SCCE. CpG islands’ methylation in the promoter region of E-cadherin is among the mechanisms that have been suggested for the E-cadherin silencing, howeve...

basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus are rare [1–4], while esophageal combined carcinoma is very rare [5]. Most cases of combined carcinoma of the esophagus consist of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small cell carcinoma [5]. This is the first report of combined adenoid cystic carcinoma, basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. A ...
