Abstract
Aim: To report a rare but possible localization of a distal esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Case Presentation: A 71-year-old man with severe progressive dysphagia and epigastric pain for 2 months. Endoscopy revealed normal esophagus up to 37 cm from the dental arch where a tight stenosis that prevents the endoscope from advancing is visualized. The histopathological result revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Tumor Board decided to initiate neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy followed by surgery.
Conclusion: Management of patients with esophagus tumors is challenging. Localization of squamous cell carcinoma in the distal esophagus, although rarer, is possible.
