Abstract
We studied the expression of elastic fiber in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue in North-eastern Indian population. Archival paraffin embedded 40 esophageal carcinoma specimens were retrieved for the study. Only smokers were included in the study. Verhoeff's stain for elastic fiber was performed to demonstrate elastic fiber with positive and negative control. A total of 28 (70%) tissue specimens was found to be positive for elastic fiber. Elastosis in esophageal carcinoma may be due to smoking. Further studies are required to rule out the etiology.
