Abstract:
Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is an aggressive malignancy that frequently occurs with lymph node involvement. Current management strategies may incorporate adjuvant therapeutic modalities in an attempt to improve the typical dismal outcome. There is frequent association of esophageal adenocarcinoma with Barret's metaplasia. Isolated bone and soft tissue metastases are rare and may present a diagnostic challenge in asymptomatic patients.
