Abstract

A 55-year-old Chinese woman with thoracic esophageal cancer associated with right aortic arch and thyroid adenoma was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography revealed a right aortic arch with mirror-image branching and a mass in the esophagus. The following barium-coated esophagograms and esophagoscopy showed an ulcerative and infiltrative tumor in the upper thoracic esophagus. The patient also had an almost 10-year history of thyroid adenoma.

Keywords: Esophageal cancer; right aortic arch; thyroid adenoma.
