Esophageal Malignancy

The aim of this case report was to present a rare case of bony metastases originated from squamous cell carcinoma of the mid esophagus, thus, underline the need for early diagnosis and possible treatment of suspicious bony lesions among patients with esophageal malignancy. A 35-year-old man with esophageal carcinoma underwent esophagectomy whose pathology revealed stage III-C disease. During follow up, he was diagnosed to have bony hand metastasis. The patient died after some time. Therefore, follow-up of patients who are diagnosed with esophageal malignancy and underwent esophagectomy is mandatory in order to reveal early surgical stages as esophageal cancer is emerging as leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Complete resection of esophageal cancer and adjacent malignant lymph nodes is the only potentially curative treatment. Accurate preoperative staging and assessment of therapeutic response after neoadjuvant therapy are crucial in determining the most suitable therapy and avoiding inappropriate attempts at curative surgery.

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
