Abstract
Verrucous carcinoma of the esophagus is a very rare esophageal cancer. We present a case of verrucous carcinoma of the esophagus, the 14th such case reported. In contrast to the previous cases, our patient had no symptoms and did not have a history of severe or repeated injury of the esophagus. The patient was completely resected by endoscopy and was well after 3 yr of follow-up, without recurrence of the disease.
