“…At present 56 pseudosarcomas [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and 127 carcinosarcomas (including a personal observation) [1, have been reported in the literature. Men comprised 82.6% and 80.4%, respectively, with the male/female ratios 4.7:1.0 and 4.1:1.0, respectively.…”

In the present review we have collected 127 carcinosarcomas and 56 pseudosarcomas of the esophagus from the literature. There were no significant differences in age, sex, symptoms, location, or stalk involvement between the two groups. Infiltrative lesions were observed in 7.5% and 4.0%, respectively. The rate of lymph node metastasis was 52.5% for carcinosarcoma and 45.0% for pseudosarcoma. The resectability was similar in the two groups, and the recurrence rates were 38.0% and 45.5%, respectively. Although recent immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies suggested that carcinosarcoma and pseudosarcoma are a single pathologic entity of epithelial origin, no one has ever compared the clinical behavior of the two entities. Our study showed that the two neoplasms have similar clinical and behavioral outcomes. These findings support, once more, the unifying theory; and we suggest that the definition of "polypoid spindle cell carcinoma of the esophagus" be adopted.

“…Lane (1957) originally suggested that these sarcomatous cells represented a bizarre stromal proliferation resulting from some undetermined stimulus from the adjacent epidermoid carcinoma. In support of such a theory, it has been noted that similar connective tissue reaction may result from various stimuli, such as trauma or irradiation (Hay-Roe et al, 1960). However, electron microscopic studies of so-called pseudosarcomas by Lichtiger k 'r,…”

“…Pseudosarcoma of the oesophagus is a rare tumour of the oesophagus and, unfortunately, its true incidence is difficult, if not impossible, to determine as this lesion has been confused with carcinosarcoma and vice versa. This tumour has been well documented in at least six patients (Stout and Lattes, 1957;Hay-Roe, Hill, and Civin, 1960;DeMarco et al, 1965;Howell Hughes and Cruickshank, 1969;Razzuk et al, 1971). In most instances, the history is one of progressive dysphagia produced by intraluminal growth of the tumour.…”

A case of pseudosarcoma, a rare polypoid tumor of the esophagus with a favorable prognosis, is reported. This is believed to be the sixth case to be reported in the English medical literature. The characteristic gross, microscopic, and clinical features as well as a brief discussion of the origin and morphogenesis of the sarcomatous (sarcoma‐like) elements of the tumor are presented. Attempts are also made to distinguish this rather unique lesion from the relatively more common and more malignant‐behaving “carcinosarcoma” of the esophagus. The patient, after a successful esophagectomy with end‐to‐end anastomosis, is physically well and without any symptoms of recurrence to date (17 months postoperative).
