Cerebellar, brainstem and spinal cord metastases from esophageal cancer following radiotherapy: A case report and literature review.
[esophageal carcinoma]
Cerebellar
,
brainstem
and
spinal
cord
metastases
from
esophageal
cancer
following
radiotherapy
are
extremely
rare
.
The
current
study
presents
the
case
of
a
74
-
year
-old
male
who
was
admitted
to
the
Zhejiang
Cancer
Hospital
(
Hangzhou
,
China
)
with
a
poorly
-differentiated
neuroendocrine
carcinoma
of
the
esophagus
.
Following
radiotherapy
,
multiple
abnormal
signals
in
the
brainstem
and
spinal
cord
were
found
on
magnetic
resonance
imaging
(
MRI
)
.
Following
palliative
radiochemotherapy
,
the
clinical
symptoms
and
abnormal
MRI
signals
in
the
brainstem
and
spinal
cord
were
found
to
improve
.
This
case
revealed
that
brain
metastasis
from
esophageal
carcinoma
may
occur
simultaneously
with
brainstem
and
spinal
cord
metastases
.
