Of 393 patients with squamous-cell carcinoma in the thoracic esophagus, 60 were found by histologic examination to have intramural metastasis. Metastases in 50 of these were identified by gross inspection. There appeared to be no preference for location proximal to the primary lesion. Eighteen patie

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Esophageal carcinoma rarely metastasizes to the brain. The objectives of the current study were to assess the frequency of brain metastasis from an esophageal primary tumor, to determine correlates of survival, and to describe treatment modalities and their outcomes. ##
Seventy-nine patients with thoracic esophageal carcinoma underwent transthoracic esophagectomy with neck, mediastinal, and abdominal lymphadenectomy. The operative mortality rate was 3.8%. Fifty-seven patients (72.2%) had metastasis in the lymph nodes. Though three patients with carcinoma classified
