Abstract
This report presents a case of esophageal squamous cell cancer with osteoplastic bone metastasis. A 58-year-old male patient underwent multimodality treatment for esophageal cancer. Sclerotic changes resembling bone metastasis from prostate cancer were detected in the 4th thoracic and the 5th lumber vertebral body soon after the adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Systemic examinations revealed no primary cancer as a cause of osteoplastic bone metastasis and no esophageal cancer recurrence. A needle biopsy revealed metastases of esophageal squamous cell cancer with osteoplastic changes. Multiple sclerotic changes were detected in the systemic bones at that time, and new carcinomatous bilateral pleural effusion developed. The drastic systemic progression of the cancer caused the rapid deterioration of the patient's general condition.Entities:
