Skull metastasis originating from adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction

Abstract

Esophageal carcinoma usually metastasizes to the liver, distant lymph nodes and lungs. The histological subtype may influence the metastatic sites, with bone metastasis being rather uncommon. This is a report on a patient who presented with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and a concurrent skull metastasis.
