ABSTRACT
Primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the esophagus is an uncommon malignant esophageal neoplasm characterized by a diffuse mixture of squamous and mucus secreting glandular carcinoma cells. The diagnostic challenges are associated with the distinction between adenosquamous carcinoma and MEC. Here we report a case of 60 year old male with dysphagia. Due to its rarity, the prognosis of this disease has not been well established.
