AB - Malignant neoplasms that metastasize to the head and neck remain a rare occurrence. Metastatic lesions to
the tongue are even more rarely encountered. The majority of the few reported cases have primary sites in
the lung, breast, and kidney. Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus with isolated metastasis to the tongue is a
unique occurrence with only a handful of cases with other extensive metastases ever reported. Herein we
present the case of a patient with adenocarcinoma of the distal third esophagus who underwent a neoadjuvant
therapy followed by margin negative esophageal resection, including negative lymph nodes, who
subsequently presented with a solitary distant metastasis to the tongue.
