Abstract

Esophageal cancer is one of the most reported cancers worldwide. The most common organs of distant metastasis are the liver, lungs and bones, respectively. Unexpected metastases were only investigated in case series. In this study, we aimed to present radiological findings of calvaryal metastasis of squamous cell esophageal cancer with abscess formation. A 55-year-old woman was admitted to Gastroenterology outpatient clinic with the complaint of dysphagia. In the computed tomography (CT), increased asymmetric wall thickness and proximal dilatation were detected in the mid-distal section of the esophagus. Contrast-enhanced cerebral magnetic resonans imaging (MRI) showed a cystic appearance in the right parietal bone.Cystic appearance was aspirated by ultrasonography (US) in the interventional radiology unit. Aspirated material was purulent. Cytopathological evaluation was reported as squamous cell carcinoma metastasis. In our case, unlike reported in the literature, the metastatic mass showed collection with dense content at the center on MRI and US examination. We observed that most of the metastatic mass was purulent in ultrasonography-guided aspiration. Calvarial metastatic lesions usually cause painless local swelling. Therefore, patients admitted with a calvarial mass, metastatic masses associated with the patient's clinical findings should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Özet

Özefagus kanseri dünya çapında en fazla bildirilen kanserlerden biridir. En sık uzak metastaz yaptığı organlar sırasıyla karaciğer, akciğer ve kemiklerdir. Beklenmedik metastazları seri çalışmaları ile araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada skuamöz hücreli özefagus kanserinin abse şeklinde prezente olan kalvaryal metastazının radyolojik bulgularını sunmayı amaçladık. 55 yaşında kadın hasta disfaji şikayeti ile Gastroenteroloji polikliniğine başvurdu. Bilgisayarlı tomografide (BT) özefagus orta-distal kesiminde asimetrik duvar kalınlık artışı ve proksimalinde dilatasyon saptandı. Yapılan kontrastlı beyin manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) tetkikinde sağ paryetal kemikte yoğun içerikli kistik görünüm saptandı. Girişimsel radyoloji ünitesinde yoğun içerikli kistik görünüm ultrasonografi(US) ile aspire edildi. Aspire edilen içeriğin pürülan vasıfta olduğu görüldü.Sitopatolojik değerlendirme ise skuamöz hücreli karsinom metastazı şeklinde raporlandı. Olgumuzda literatürde bildirildiğinden farklı olarak metastatik kitlenin santrali MRG ve US incelemede yoğun içerikli koleksiyon şeklinde görüntüleme özellikleri göstermekteydi. Yaptığımız ultrasonografi eşliğinde aspirasyonda metastatik kitlenin büyük bölümü pürülan vasıftaydı. Kalvaryal metastatik lezyonlar genellikle ağrısız lokal şişliğe neden olurlar. Bu nedenle kalvaryumda kitle ile başvuran hastalarda, hastanın klinik bulguları ile ilişkili metastatik kitleler ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmelidir.
