Colon Cancer Recur with Dysphagia

Here we present the rare case of a patient with inadequately treated colon cancer, due to refusal of chemotherapy, who presented with difficult swallowing and was found to have colonic metastasis to the distal esophagus. Of the approximately 135,000 cases of large bowel cancer diagnosed each year in the United States, 95,520 cases are colon of those diagnosed with colon cancer, approximately 20% will have distant metastases at the time of presentation [1]. colon cancer metastasis to the esophagus is rare and presentation is limited to few isolated case reports. In this report, we present our experience with a patient with a history of colon cancer who developed difficulty swallowing due to esophageal metastases.
