What is it about?
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is rare. Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive disease and often spreads hematogenously; however, choroidal metastases are rarely seen.

Why is it important?
This report has highlighted an extremely rare case of G-CSF-producing ESCC with choroidal metastasis.
Perspectives
In the case of an ESCC patient with leukocytosis, the possibility of G-CSF-producing cancer should be considered. Moreover, when ESCC patients display ophthalmologic symptoms, we should be aware of potential choroidal metastasis.
