Verrucous carcinoma of the esophagus: A case report and literature review.
[esophageal carcinoma]
Verrucous
carcinoma
of
the
esophagus
is
a
variant
of
a
squamous
cell
cancer
.
Our
case
is
a
78
-
year
-old
male
patient
comes
in
with
the
dysphagia
and
weight
loss
,
and
on
endoscopy
(
EGD
)
he
is
found
to
have
an
irregular
intraluminal
mass
at
the
distal
esophagus
.
With
the
deep
EGD
assisted
biopsy
,
diagnosis
of
the
verrucous
carcinoma
is
made
.
Due
to
multiple
co
morbidities
and
possible
infiltration
to
the
pericardium
,
patient
is
taken
for
the
esophageal
stent
placement
and
is
being
referred
for
the
chemo-radiation
treatment
.
The
diagnosis
can
be
very
difficult
to
make
with
the
superficial
biopsies
due
to
very
non
specific
histological
changes
and
requires
very
high
clinical
suspicion
and
deep
mucosal
biopsies
are
required
for
accurate
diagnosis
of
the
tumor
.
Chronic
and
local
disease
process
is
the
main
risk
factor
for
the
development
of
the
verrucous
carcinoma
of
the
esophagus
.
Surgery
is
the
treatment
of
the
choice
for
the
early
stage
tumor
and
advanced
cases
are
treated
with
the
palliation
and
possibly
chemo-
radiation
.
The
prognosis
is
usually
guarded
and
needs
long
term
follow
up
.
