Received September 17, 1977; Clinical aspects of six cases of esophageal carcinosarcoma were reported. They were all male in their sixties. Although almost all cases of carcinosarcoma of the esophagus reported in the literatures had polypoid lesions, two of our cases showed ulcerative appearance and were not considered to be carcinosarcoma by macroscopic observations. Recently, preoperative irradiation has been adopted for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma in many hospitals and it may be possible that some of sarcomatous component has disappeared at the time of operation. Therefore, more cases of esophageal carcinosarcoma could be present among those who had been diagnosed as esophageal carcinoma.
