Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the esophagus has been relatively an uncommon, slow growing tumor. A 51 year-old man patient had a tumor in the lower third of the esophagus which was incidentally found during an examination for UPPER C-I series, and resected successfully without Thoracotomy. The tumor exhibited a polypoid appearance covered by normal esophageal epithelium, localized entirely in the submucosal layer of the esophagus and morphologically identical to adenoid cystic carcinoma in the salivary glands.
