Midesophageal carcinoma metastatic to the stomach: its unusual appearance on an upper gastrointestinal series.
We report a case of midesophageal carcinoma with metastases to the gastric fundus. The gastric metastases were detected on a standard upper gastrointestinal series before other studies. Gastric metastases from esophageal carcinoma have rarely been described in the radiologic literature and in this case had atypical features which prompted this report.
