[Isolated metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus in the terminal ileum. Report of a case].
Squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, with isolated metastasis to the terminal ileum, is a rare finding. Only 18 of such cases have been reported in the medical literature, all of them found at necropsies. The accurate examination of the abdominal cavity, after performing a gastrostomy, showed a neoplastic lesion in the terminal ileum, which was then resected. The histopathological examination revealed the metastatic nature of the lesion. The authors emphasize the importance of a complete and accurate revision of the abdominal cavity on patients with esophagus squamous cell carcinoma.
