Rapid development of an advanced squamous-cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
This report describes the case of a 42-year-old alcoholic man who developed advanced squamous-cell carcinoma of the esophagus following an endoscopic examination showing grossly normal mucosa only 8 months previously. We believe this is the first case report providing endoscopic images illustrating a progression from grossly normal mucosa to advanced carcinoma of the esophagus in only 8 months.
