Abstract
Primary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the esophagus is a rare and highly malignant neoplasm with a poor prognosis. A 51-year-old man presented with difficulty in swallowing for 2 weeks. Thoracic CT revealed a huge mass in the middle-lower thoracic esophagus. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed intense 18F-FDG uptake of the esophageal tumor. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the esophageal lesion tissue confirmed the diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma after postoperative pathological biopsy.
