- Abstract
Carcinoma cuniculatum is a rare variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. To date, there are less than 30 cases of esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum reported. It is frequently a diagnostic challenge: A definitive diagnosis typically cannot be made before esophagectomy. We present a uniquely aggressive case of esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum complicated by a bronchoesophageal fistula and successfully palliated with dual esophageal and endobronchial stenting.
