✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A 65‐year‐old man presented with progessive dysphagia, which proved to be the first clinical manifestation of a periperal lung carcinoma (secondary to a submucosal metatasis in the esophagus). The lung tumor, hidden by the diaphragm on chest x‐ray, was not suspected until a thoracotomy was done. Although dysphagia is known to be the first manifestation of bron‐chogenic carcinomas, such presentation in a case of a peripheral lung carcinoma has not been well described. This case is reported with a review of the literature for cases with dysphagia secondary to a metastatic tumor in the esophagus.
