Abstract
Secondary involvement of the esophagus by malignancy is rare, occurring in patients with cancer at an estimated incidence of 1% to 6%. Although primary cancers of the lung and breast are most commonly responsible, other primary sites have included tumors of the prostate, skin, kidney, bladder, rectum, pancreas, thyroid, liver, and endometrium. Esophageal metastasis from ovarian cancer has been reported in only 1 case, in which the metastasis occurred 16 years after initial tumor resection and was treated with partial esophagectomy. This report describes a case of metastatic ovarian cancer to the esophagus after a 4-year disease-free interval.
