Introduction: Esophageal involvement in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma is a rare phenomenon when advanced systemic disease is detected. Dysphagia is the most common guide symptom. However, diagnosis is often delayed due to its submucosal process that is not early seen in endoscopic initial evaluation, while computerized tomography (CT) scan usually shows concentric thickening of the esophageal layers and gives the suspected diagnosis. Case Presentation: We present the case of a patient who died of mediastinitis caused by an esophageal perforated ulceration due to infiltration of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. In addition, this is the first case report of severe esophageal candidiasis associated that delayed diagnosis and subsequent oncological treatment. Conclusion: Esophageal secondary infiltration must be suspected when a patient has a history of malignancy combined with consistent CT findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
