Esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum. Systematic review of the literature and report of two cases
Background and Aims: Carcinoma cuniculatum (CC) is a rare variant of an extremely well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The most commonly involved site is the skin, with a preference for the sole. Only 15 cases of esophageal CC have been reported so far. Based on published data, the clinical behavior of CC has not been clearly defined. We describe the clinical-pathologic features of two cases of esophageal CC, and provide a review of the available literature, to shed more light on this unusual tumor.
