A case of basaloid carcinoma of the esophagus with a solitary lung metastasis for which thoracoscopic partial lung resection was performed.
We experienced a case of basaloid carcinoma of the esophagus with a solitary lung metastasis for which thoracoscopic partial lung resection was performed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of basaloid carcinoma of the esophagus with lung metastasis for which surgery was performed. There are no evidence-based treatment strategies for postoperative recurrence of basaloid carcinoma of the esophagus. Treatment strategies such as adjuvant therapy centered on chemotherapy and surgical indications should be established.
