Abstract
Introduction: Common morphological patterns of oesophageal cancer presentation include stricture formation, mucosal ulceration, or the presence of exophytic fungating masses, nodules, and fistulae. The varicoid type is, however, rare. Case presentation: The index case is a 74-year-old lady who had no classical complaints that are often associated with oesophageal cancer and had the varicoid type discovered on endoscopy screening. Conclusion: The purpose of this case report is to document such a pattern for the first time in the authors’ environment and to highlight the utility of endoscopy in early detection of malignancy when commonly identified signs and symptoms are absent.
