Abstract

We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma originating from esophageal carcinoma. 2 X 3cm sized, flesh-colored, soft, movable nodules were detected on the scalp in a 59-year-old man. He was made a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma in the distal esophagus a year ago. Histopathologic examination showed that the tumor had multiple mitoses and horn pearls, but there was no connection between the epidermis and the tumor nests. In immunohistochemical stains, cytokeratin- high molecular weight and EMA was positive, but CEA was negative.
