A RARE OCCURRENCE OF ESOPHAGEAL SPINOCELLULAR CARCINOMA IN A YOUNG ADULT

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is a relatively uncommon neoplasm that affects advanced age groups. Here we report a case of an invasive esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that affected a 17-year-old male patient with some evidence showing that the early stages of neoplastic development were throughout childhood.  No risks factors were identified and the patient had an excellent long-term outcome.
