Category 2, Items 17 and 18

A 66-year-old otherwise healthy man undergoes esophagogastroduodenoscopy for progressive dysphagia. He has no other complaints. Endoscopy reveals a fungating partially obstructing lesion 30 cm beyond the incisors. Microscopic examination of a biopsy from the mass reveals adenocarcinoma, and an additional biopsy 4 cm proximal to the gastroesophageal junction shows Barrett’s esophagitis without dysplasia. The esophagogram and computed tomogram (CT) shown are obtained.
