ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 68 años con 6 meses de disfagia progresiva, baja de peso y edema de miembros inferiores. Tenía anemia microccítica e hipoalbuminemia severas. La radiografía contrastada mostraba al esófago con bordes irregulares que comprometían sus porciones cervical y distal. En la tomografía axial computarizada fueron evidentes las adenopatías cervicales, derrame pleural bilateral y pronunciado engrosamiento esofágico. En la endoscopía se observaron desde el área subyacente al cricogaringeo, lesiones elevadas dispersas, algunas con aspecto nodular y tumoral, que se distribuían una tras otra a lo largo del esófago hasta un área de estenosis (32 cm de arcada dentaria); la estenosis estaba tapizada con una mucosa irregular y friable. El estudio histológico reveló carcinoma adenoide quístico de esófago, con inmunohistoquímica positiva a citoqueratina. Mostramos los hallazgos clínico-patológicos e imágenes de este caso y revisamos lo reportado sobre esta rara entidad.


We presented the case of a man of 86 years with 6 months of progressive dysphagia, weight loss and edema of lower limbs. He had both severe microcitic anemia and hypoalbuminemia. The contrasted x-ray showed the esophagus with irregular edges that compromised their cervical and distal portions. In the computerized axial tomography cervical adenophaties, bilateral pleural effusion and pronouncing esophagic thickening were evident. In endoscopy dispersed elevated lesions were observed from the underlying area of cricopharinx, some with nodular and tumor like aspect, that distributed throughout the esophagus until an area of stenosis (32 cm of dental arches); the estenosis was tapestried with an irregular and easy bleeding mucosa. The histological study revealed adenoid cystic carcinoma of esophagus, with positive inmunocytochemical to cytokeratin. We showed the clinical-pathological findings and images of this case and we reviewed reports of this rare entity.
