Presentation
An elderly lady with dysphagia.
Patient Data




Water-soluble swallow.
Almost complete luminal occlusion at the level of the distal third of the oesophagus with just a tiny rim of contrast bypassing a large intraluminal mass. The superior edge is shouldered.
The intraluminal mass extends down almost to the level of the gastro-oesophageal junction.
Case Discussion
This fluoroscopic examination illustrates a huge oesophageal malignancy with almost complete luminal occlusion.
The shouldered edge is typical of a malignancy.
Prior CT showed narrowing of distal oesophagus.
OGD: showed a malignant-looking tumour.
Barium swallow was performed prior to stenting.
