title: [Muco-epidermoid cancer of the esophagus. Review of the literature. Report of a case with 9 years' follow-up].
abstract: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of esophagus is a distinctly uncommon neoplasm. Diagnosis depends on precise microscopic criteria. Microscopic features should show distinct epidermoid features with evidence of intracellular mucus secretion. Their origin is generally believed to be esophageal submucosal glands or their ducts. In a survey of the literature, only 15 cases were found to have been reported. A case of a 43 year old man with a 9 year follow-up is presented. Prognosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the same as ordinary squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
