Abstract
A 52-year-old man presented with continuous dull pain from the throat to the epigastric region with dysphagia. Initial endoscopy misdiagnosed a subepithelial tumor causing external compression of the esophagus. A CT scan visualized a 14.0 × 4.0-cm pedunculated mass inside the esophagus. Subsequent 18 F-FDG PET/CT identified an intense FDG-avid area in the mass, which strongly suggested esophageal cancer. Total mass excision was performed, and fibrovascular polyp with chronic ulcerative inflammation was finally confirmed on histologic examination.
