Globally, an estimated 572 000 cases occurred in 2018 of malignant tumors of the esophagus but in children and adolescents, this cancer is a rare disease. Through this case report, we tried to analyze the clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and prognostic profile of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus in children. This was a 13 and half-year-old patient at the time of onset of solids dysphagia. Symptoms worsened with the onset of fluid dysphagia, complicated by deterioration of general condition, with anemia and asthenia. The eso-gastro-duodenal fibroscopy found a budding tumor 30cm from the dental arches partially obstructing the lumen of the esophagus. An anatomopathological study of the lesion found a well differentiated and infiltrating epidermoid esophageal carcinoma. The extension assessment came back negative.
