Thoracic computed tomography (CT) (Figures 1(a), 1(b), and 1(c)) revealed a mass and mediastinal multiple lymph nodes up to 2-3 cm and also hepatic metastases. Barium-contrasted esophageal graphy (Figure 1(d)) showed mucosal irregularity and thickness in a long esophageal segment.
(a) Bronchoscopic exploration showed submucosal tumoral infiltration at the left anterolateral wall of trachea (arrows). (b, c) Biopsy materials are shown in the histopathologic examination.

Bronchoscopic exploration (Figure 2(a)) carried out for severe dry cough and to evaluate subcarinal mediastinal lymph node showed submucosal tumoral infiltration at the left anterolateral wall of the distal trachea. In the histopathologic examination (Figures 2(b) and 2(c)) of biopsy materials belonging to esophagus taken endoscopically from the patient, accumulations have formed in lamina propria without indicating remarkable glandular or squamous organization, and it was observed that there was neoplastic formation leading to small rounds in squamous epitelium sporadically.
