    Abstract:
    Presented is the case of a 71-year-old female with an associated, concomitant early multiple esophageal carcinoma and a gastric carcinoma. An esophageal endoscopy revealed a reddish region in the upper and middle esophagus. This lesion, in part, remained unstained by lugol. Further, three lesions were observed at the upper and middle portions of the esophagus in a resected specimen, and the macroscopic diagnosis was 0-II c, These lesions were histologically diagnosed as being moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, 5 x 15 mm, 2 x 5 mm, and, 3 x 5 mm in size. Furthermore, a lesion in the cardia was found superimposed on the esophageal cancer, and diagnosed as being an adenocarcinoma (II b), 10 x 15 mm in size. In the literature, reports of a concomitant association of an early esophageal carcinoma and a gastric carcinoma amount to 19 cases in Japan, our case being the twentieth case. In formatively, our case was found to display a multiple carcinoma in the esophagus.
