Esophageal cancer with extensive metastasis and spread to unexpected areas and sites

What is it about?

Esophageal cancer (EC) with unexpected metastasis (UM) to unusual sites have been increasingly reported. EC with metastasis in general has a very high mortality and morbidity rate, and those with UM to unusual sites present another specific field that needs to be further studied in order to understand and manage the presentation

Why is it important?

The case reports a patient who not only had esophageal cancer (EC) with unexpected metastasis (UM) to unusual sites, but also to a considerable number. This case shows an example of metastasis spread to areas that typically do not get metastasis from esophageal cancer. Also this case shows why the type of imaging is important when dealing with unexpected metastasis sites. With this, we hope to further add to the data in this particular field and provide some opinion on this matter.
