Abstract

Esophageal cancer is a disease in which airway involvement is a frequent cause of incurability. A patient underwent radical esophagectomy with application of IORT for an early stage esophageal cancer. Postoperative stay was complicated by tracheal ulceration; microscopic examination of the ulcerated tracheal tissue revealed multiple metastatic islets of spindle cells carcinoma. Our case revealed a very unusual hematogenous metastatization that has been impossible to detect with conventional preoperative staging; IORT may have played a role in the fatal outcome.
