Abstract
An interesting manifestation of carcinoma of the esophagus, hitherto undescribed is reported. The patient at the time of diagnosis had presented with an esophagocutaneous fistula. He was treated by feeding jejunostomy and local palliative radiotherapy and showed good clinical improvement. The extreme rarity of such a presentation is highlighted.
