Lymphoepithelioma-like esophageal carcinoma with macroscopic reduction

Figure 1 The endoscopic findings. A: The first endoscopy (at the previous clinic) showed a submucosal-like tumor of approximately 10 mm in diameter. The lesion, except for the erosion at the top, was stained with Lugol’s solution; B: The second endoscopy (performed two weeks after the first endoscopy) showed a raised tumor with a central dip. The height of the tumor had decreased; C: The third endoscopy (performed during the endoscopic operation, two months after the first endoscopy) showed that the tumor had become flattened, similar to a scar (arrowhead).
