[A Case of Esophagogastric Junction Adenocarcinoma with Multiple Esophageal Intramural Metastases].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2018 December
We experienced a case of multiple esophageal intramural metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. A 58-year-old man was admitted complaining of dysphagia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a type 3 tumor at the esophagogastric junction. Biopsy showed Group 5, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Abdominal CT indicated regional and para-aortic lymph node metastasis. Then the clinical diagnosis was established as Siewert type Ⅲ adenocarcinoma and cT4aN2M1(LYM), cStage Ⅳ. After conducting 4 courses of SP(S-1/cisplatin)therapy, endoscopy showed partial response of the primary tumor and the submucosal nodules in the lower esophagus. We performed lower esophagectomy and total gastrectomy by left thoracotomy and laparotomy. Six esophageal nodules were identified in the lower esophagus, and pathological examination proved the poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The esophageal tumors were diagnosed as intramural metastases. The patient showed hepatic and lymphatic recurrence 9 months after surgery, and died 15 months after surgery. Esophageal intramural metastasis from esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma is relatively rare. We discuss this case along with a review of the literature.
