Abstract
Generally, esophageal cancer metaetasizes to lymph node, lung, liver but metastasis to another digestive organ is very rare. A 51 year old man who had experienced dysphagia for 1 month was diagnosed as an esophageal cancer. After combined radiation therapy and chematherapy(5-FU, cisplatinum), he still had dysphagia. After implanta tion of self-expandable metallic esophageal stent, he could swallow solid food. Recently, he experienced pharyngeal pain for 1 month. Endoscopy showed multiple nodules in right pyriform sinus. Biopsy specimen revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Because the distance between esophageal cancer and pharyngeal nodule is more than 10 cm and computed tomography of the neck shows normal esophageal wall no cervical lymphadenopathy, we concluded that this case was an esophageal cancer with metastasis to the pharynx. Hence, we reported a case of esophageal cancer with pharyngeal metastasis with a review of literatures. (Kor J Gastrointest Endosc 16: 63~67, 1996)
