A 69-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of dysphagia. Esophagogram revealed an irregularly margined ulceration with stenosis at the abdominal esophagus. Endoscopic study showed an ulcerative lesion at the level of 30cm from the incisor teeth. Esophagocardiectomy was performed. Resected specimen showed a shallow depressed ulceration, 6.5×6.0cm in size, at the lower esophagus. Microscopic examination revealed malignant lymphoma of diffuse, large cell type. No evidence of involvement was found in the dissected lymph nodes and the bone marrow biopsy specimens.
She has been well for 4 years and 6 months postoperatively.
