摘要：
食管原发性肉瘤样癌是一种罕见且高度恶性的肿瘤，预后不良。一名51岁的男性患者出现吞咽困难已有2周。胸部CT检查显示胸段中下食管位置有一巨大肿块。18F-FDG PET/CT显示食管肿瘤摄取18F-FDG增强明显。食管病变组织的组织病理学和免疫组化检查在术后病理活检中证实了肉瘤样癌的诊断。
Primary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the esophagus is a rare and highly malignant neoplasm with a poor prognosis. A 51-year-old man presented with difficulty in swallowing for 2 weeks. Thoracic CT revealed a huge mass in the middle-lower thoracic esophagus. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed intense 18F-FDG uptake of the esophageal tumor. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the esophageal lesion tissue confirmed the diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma after postoperative pathological biopsy.Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
