[Primary adenocarcinoma of the esophagus].
The presented analysis of a patient treated at the 1st Surgical Department of the Teaching Hospital in Bratislava meets the criteria for being classified as primary adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, whose characteristics are described in the paper. Primary adenocarcinomas of the esophagus occur rarely and constitute only about 0.5% of large series of esophageal malignancies. The tumor is not connected with the gastric mucosa, being separated from it by the normal mucosa of the esophagus, and it is not a metastasis. The patients suffer from late not marked dysphagia. The endoscopic and histologic findings are frequently misleading since the mucosa above the tumor is usually intact.
