Carcinosarcoma is an uncommon malignancy of the esophagus that presents as a bulky intraluminal polypoid lesion of the esophagus. Histologically, both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components are seen. Because of accelerated intraluminal growth, esophageal carcinosarcoma often presents relatively early. This report describes a 64-year-old man with carcinosarcoma who was successfully treated with an esophagectomy. As in typical squamous cell carcinoma, early detection and treatment by surgical resection are needed to produce significant long-term survival.
