A barium esophagogram revealed a lower esophageal mass. Computed tomography revealed a large polypoidal esophageal mass without any evidence of local invasion or distant disease. Endoscopic biopsy established the diagnosis of @entity320 . A radical resection of the esophagus with three-field lymph nodal dissection was undertaken. The @entity1 made an uneventful recovery. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of @entity320 and positive lymph nodes. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given. He succumbed to systemic recurrence after 69 months.
