[Subperiosteal metastasis of esophageal adenocarcinoma].
The authors report an observation of a tibial subperiosteal metastasis of an esophageal cancer. Subperiosteal metastases are rare, appearing on plain radiography as a cortical lysis of a long bone with a "saucer" aspect. They were considered specific of a bronchogenic carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge this is the second observation of subperiosteal metastasis, whose primary tumor is not a broncho-pulmonary cancer.
