Osteosarcoma of the esophagus.
The case of a 70-year-old man who underwent esophagectomy for a large polypoid sarcoma is described. Detailed examination of the surgical specimen established a diagnosis of osteosarcoma. Although osteosarcomas of the esophagus have been described in dogs, such tumors in humans do not appear to have been previously reported.
