Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus that affects both children and adults. Symptoms in adults are mainly esophageal dysphagia, which ranges from mild symptoms to acute food bolus obstruction of the esophagus. Diagnosis is defined as symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and ≥ 15 eosinophils/high power field (HPF) in at least one of the biopsies taken from the esophagus. EoE appears to be increasing in both prevalence and incidence. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, incidence, and presenting symptoms of patients with EoE within the catchment area of Northern Älvsborg County Hospital in Trollhättan...

Recent genomic studies suggest that esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is not homogeneous and can be divided into true (tEAC) and probable (pEAC) groups. We compared clinicopathologic and prognostic features between the two groups of EAC. Based on endoscopic, radiologic, surgical, and pathologic reports, tumors with epicenters beyond 2 cm of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) were assigned to the tEAC group (N = 63), while epicenters within 2 cm of, but not crossing the GEJ, were allocated to the pEAC group (N = 83)...

Neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery has been the standard of care for locally advanced carcinoma esophagus. We present our experience and inference of various factors associated with the same treatment and the prognostic influence of the same. A retrospective analysis of a cohort of 132 squamous cell carcinoma esophagus patients post neoadjuvant chemoradiation operated with curative intent was carried out. The 2-year overall survival rate was 64.5%. A pathological complete response was achieved in 32...

BACKGROUND: Esophageal cancer is the seventh most frequently diagnosed cancer with a high mortality rate and the sixth leading cause of cancer deaths in the world. Early detection of esophageal cancer is very vital for the patients. Traditionally, contrast computed tomography (CT) was used to detect esophageal carcinomas, but with the development of deep learning (DL) technology, it may now be possible for non-contrast CT to detect esophageal carcinomas. In this study, we aimed to establish a DL-based diagnostic system to stage esophageal cancer from non-contrast chest CT images...

SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumors (SMARCA4-UT) are a newly described entity and are typically seen in the thoracic cavity. However, these tumors have been described in other body sites, including the esophagus. These tumors are rare, aggressive neoplasms, characterized by the loss of protein product of SMARCA4 (Brahma-related gene-1) and the preservation of INI1 (SMARCB1) expression. Here, we present two tumors of SMARCA4-UT of the esophagus with its microscopic appearance and immunohistochemical profile...

BACKGROUND: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is characterized by field cancerization, wherein multiple cancers occur in the esophagus, head and neck, and stomach. Synchronous esophageal and colorectal cancers are also encountered with a certain frequency. A good prognosis can be expected if the tumors in both locations can be safely and completely removed. For patients with multiple cancers that occur simultaneously with esophageal cancer, it is necessary to perform a staged operation, taking into consideration the associated surgical invasiveness...

REVIEW
Leila T Tchelebi, Karyn A Goodman
Radiation therapy is an effective treatment modality in the management of patients with esophageal cancer regardless of tumor location (proximal, middle, or distal esophagus) or histology (squamous cell vs adenocarcinoma). The addition of neoadjuvant CRT to surgery in patients who are surgical candidates has consistently shown a benefit in terms of locoregional recurrence, pathologic downstaging, and overall survival. For patients who are not surgical candidates, CRT has a role as definitive treatment.

OBJECTIVE: Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital abnormalities, and usually asymptomatic until adulthood. We present a fetus prenatally diagnosed with a bronchogenic cyst, experiencing compression symptoms immediately after birth and underwent thoracoscopic surgery at 14 days old. CASE REPORT: A 33-year-old primigravida had a suspicion of fetal tracheal cyst. Prenatal ultrasound scan revealed a cyst near the trachea at 23 weeks' gestation. Fetal MRI defined a cystic lesion in the upper mediastinum, displacing surrounding vessels...

Video 1The mass was identified at the upper- to mid-esophagus, 25 cm from the central incisors. No varices were seen on further examination of the esophagus. A 4-mm injector force needle was used to create a large submucosal injection using BlueBoost lifting agent proximal to the mass. A longitudinal mucosal incision was then made using the hybrid T-type electrocautery knife, 20 cm from the central incisors.The cutting current was the preset Endocut Q mode, and the coagulation setting was spray coag mode, effect 2 and 40 W...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant tumor originating in the salivary glands. It most commonly affects the salivary and lacrimal glands, with less frequent occurrences in the esophagus. Esophageal ACC (EACC) typically manifests in the middle or lower parts of the esophagus, with exceedingly rare instances in the upper part. Lung metastasis in EACC is uncommon, and understanding its clinical features and treatment strategies remains challenging. In this study, we present a case of ACC originating in the upper esophagus with lung metastasis...

Barrett's esophagus (BE) belongs to a pathological phenomenon occurring in the esophagus, this paper intended to unveil the underlying function of miR-378a-5p and its target TSPAN8 in BE progression. GEO analysis was conducted to determine differentially expressed genes in BE samples. Non-dysplastic metaplasia BE samples, high-grade dysplastic BE samples and controls were collected from subjects. CP-A and CP-B cells were exposed to bile acids (BA) to mimic gastroesophageal reflux in BE cells. RT-qPCR as well as western blot were applied for verifying expressions of miR-378a-5p, TSPAN8, CDX2 and SOX9...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a very rare benign fibroblastic tumor featuring a wide anatomical distribution and mimicking various spindle cell tumors. CFT has been documented in soft tissues, gastrointestinal tract (GIT), neck, adrenal glands, and pleura. Within the GIT, it is reported in the stomach, small bowel, large intestine, stomach, esophagus, and appendix. The occurrence of CFTs in the gastrointestinal tract presents a diagnostic dilemma, firstly due to the rarity of the lesion and secondly, due to the occurrence of a variety of other stromal lesions in the gastrointestinal tract with histological features that overlap with CFT...
