Abstract
Sarcomatous lesions of the esophagus are rare. We describe a controversial case of a malignant aggressive tumor of the aesophagus, with a very poor prognosis and rapid outcome for the patient. A 74-year-old man underwent endoscopic examination for recurrent thoracic pain and dysphagia. A 8 cm mass was found in the cervical esophagus. A sarcomatous tumor with osteoid aspects was observed on the histopathological examination, without any carcinomatous component.
