title: [Cystic adenoid cancer of the esophagus. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: A 59-year-old man had adenoid cystic carcinoma of the esophagus. The tumor, in the lower third of the esophagus, was resected; the patient died 7 months after surgery from widespread distant metastases. The initial diagnostic was epidermoid carcinoma on the biopsy. In the literature adenoid cystic carcinoma are frequently associated with epithelial abnormalities. Also of interest within the literature was the fact that radiotherapy and combination chemotherapy may be an effective treatment modality for this cancer.
