  • Title: [Basaloid cancer of the esophagus].
    Author: Chavanis N, Chavanon O, Chaffanjon P, Lantuejoul S, Reyt E, Brichon PY.
    Journal: Presse Med; 1999 Jun 26; 28(23):1235-6. PubMed ID: 10420888.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Basaloid cancer of the esophagus is exceptional. The tumor probably develops from epithelial basal cells. This histological type is generally observed in ENT or bronchial localizations. CASE REPORT: A 62-year-old man underwent total pharyngo-laryngo-esophagectomy for a double tumor localization of a basaloid carcinoma of the esophagus and a hypophyayngeal squamous cell carcinoma. DISCUSSION: Basaloid carcinoma has specific histological features difficult to recognize at the pathology examination. Because of the high risk of metastasis, it may be important to propose radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy after surgical excision.
