Abstract
Colonic or peritoneal metastasis from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare. We present the case of a 68-year-old man with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received concurrent chemoradiation therapy. The follow-up whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT was performed 6 months after initial chemotherapy and showed new lesions of increased FDG activity in the colon as well as peritoneum. The final pathological diagnosis proved these metastases were from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
