Abstract

Esophageal cancer is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, resulting in poor survival. The common sites of distant metastasis include lung, liver and bones. The present study reports a rare case of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with rectal metastasis. A 65‑year‑old man was diagnosed with middle thoracic esophageal SCC with multiple lymph node metastasis. The patient achieved good response after chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. During following up, the computed tomography and magnetic resonance scans showed a mass in front of the rectum with intact mucosa. Biopsies were performed and histopathological findings showed SCC, consistent with metastasis from primary esophageal SCC. The patient subsequently received palliative chemoradiotherapy to the rectal tumour and survived for 5 months. To the best of our knowledge, the present case is the first report of metastatic rectal SCC from the esophagus. It is important to take a biopsy of this unexpected lesion for histological analysis, which can help to discriminate metastatic from primary cancer. The goal of treatment is palliative therapy to improve quality of life and survival for this metastatic disease.
