[Case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus].
A 46-year-old male was admitted complaining of swallowing disturbance. Esophagogram demonstrated a polypoid mass 15 cm in length at the mid portion of the esophagus. Esophagofiberscopy revealed a large greenish friable mass. Subtotal esophagectomy, cervical esophago-gastrostomy and lymph node dissection were performed. The resected polypoid mass was elliptical and measured 14 X 4 X 4 cm. The histological diagnosis of the pedunculated mass was Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma. An area of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, in the mucosal layer, was present at the stalk of the polypoid tumor. Lymph nodes showed no tumor involvement.
