Early Response to Definitive Chemoradiation for Esophageal Carcinoma Cuniculatum

A Case Report of an Early Response to Definitive Chemoradiation for Esophageal Carcinoma Cuniculatum:



This case report describes a 63-year-old female with a locally advanced esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum treated with definitive chemoradiation who had a rapid and early response. This case is illustrative of an aggressive behavior with rapid response and rapid recurrence. The cases of esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum as well as the closely related clinical entity of verrucous carcinoma are reviewed suggesting good clinical outcomes after definitive therapy with chemoradiation and/or surgery.
