Malignant oesophageal neoplasms are much more common than benign oesophageal neoplasms, especially if the patient is symptomatic.
Pathology
- oesophageal carcinoma (90%)
- oesophageal neuroendocrine tumours (1%)
- oesophageal lymphoma (rare; <1% of gastrointestinal lymphoma)
- oesophageal leiomyosarcoma
- oesophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST)
- metastases (3% of patients with a primary malignancy)
- most commonly from direct invasion rather than haematogenous spread
