Abstract :
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is a rather common cancer in northern
Iran. Incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagus has an increasing trend
in Iran. Co-existence of both cancers in one patient is very rare. We report a
middle age woman from northern Iran with a typical presentation of esophageal
cancer, who was found to have a dual esophageal cancer. The disease
was found in the advanced stage with pulmonary metastasis at the presentation.
Palliative chemo-radiotherapy induced partial clinical response.
