Cases of esophageal cancer with intramural metastasis to the stomach and esophageal cancer with metastasis to an intramural lymph node of the stomach are herein reported. The former patient was a 52 year-old male. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lower esophagus with an intramural metastasis located at the gastric cardia and a small leiomyoma at the fornix were resected. The latter patient was a 70 year-old female. SCC of the lower esophagus and an intramural lymph node metastasis located at the anterior wall of the gastric cardia were resected. The patient died nevertheless of multiple liver metastases. These gastric involvements were detectable by endoscopy before surgery. The clinicopathological features of these esophageal cancers were characterized; the sites were the lower part of the esophagus, and extreme lymphatic and vascular invasions were shown histologically. The gastric tumors were located in the upper third of the stomach, and the findings revealed submucosal tumors. It is therefore important to discriminate other gastric tumors, and to resect them simultaneously with esophageal cancer when a gastric tube has been used for reconstruction after esophagectomy.
