Metastatic carcinoma of the esophagus to the skeletal muscle is extremely rare. Only four cases have been reported in the literature in Japan since 1973. A 56 year old man was admitted to this hospital in May 1979,complaining of cough, progressive dysphagia and tumor in the left thigh. Since the first of June 1978,he had had dysphagia. A barium meal examination and esophagoscopy showed a carcinoma in the intrathoracic esophagus. Radiation treatment was given 35 times, total tumor dose 7,000 rads. The patient had been free from dysphagia for about half a year, but in May 1979,he noticed cough, and dysphagia, again with tumor in the left thigh. The extirpation of tumor in the left thigh was performed in June 1979. A tumor mass was found, involving femoral biceps muscle, extending into the gluteal muscle. It was diagnosed metastatic involvement from a primary esophageal squamous cell carcinoma on the histological examination.
