Abstract:
A chest wall mass can result from a diversity of underlying disease processes ranging from benign to a site of distant metastasis. The chest wall is a rare site for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) metastasis. Delayed diagnosis can occur when presenting symptoms are not typical of esophageal pathology, and advanced-stage EAC has a high morbidity and low survival rates. Our case demonstrates a rare and unusual presentation of EAC with a poor outcome due to delayed diagnosis.
摘要:
胸壁肿块可能是由从良性到远处转移部位的各种潜在疾病过程引起的。胸壁是食管腺癌(EAC)转移的罕见部位。当出现不典型的食管病理学症状时,可能会出现延迟诊断。晚期EAC发病率高,生存率低。我们的病例显示EAC的罕见且异常表现,由于诊断延迟,结果不佳。
