“…In recent years, it has been reported that surgical treatment for metastases may be beneficial in the presence of a limited number of metastases (< 5 metastases). 49,50 Radiation therapy can be given alone or in combination with other treatments that have cancer cells. It may also be used as palliative treatment to help ease pain or discomfort or to control tumor bleeding.…”

Esophageal carcinoma in children and adolescents is extremely rare. Here, we report 2 cases of pediatric esophageal carcinoma presenting with progressive dysphagia. There was not any underlying specific risk factor in our cases. The histopathological subtypes were adenocarcinoma in one and squamous cell carcinoma in another case. Response to combined modality treatment was good in the case of adenocarcinoma, while the patient with squamous cell carcinoma was unresponsive to treatment and died of the progressive disease. We reviewed the pediatric cases of esophageal carcinoma reported in the literature. Progressive dysphagia was observed in 89% of these cases. One third of pediatric cases had underlying risk factors. Squamous cell carcinoma is a more common type of childhood esophageal carcinoma. In contrast to adults, pediatric esophageal squamous cell carcinoma may distribute throughout the esophagus. Esophageal adenocarcinoma was seen in the distal esophagus in pediatric cases. Metastatic disease was found in 48% of pediatric patients at presentation, and the prognosis is poor. Collaborative efforts are needed for success in the treatment of esophageal carcinoma.
