 A 65-year-old man with anemia and dysphagia was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of esophageal tumor of the lower esophagus.

 X-ray examination revealed an ulcerative lesion with coarse nodules in the surface, approximately 6 cm in length in the lower esophagus. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed an irregular ulcerative lesion with a smooth-surfaced small peripheral upheaval, and the tumor was surrounded by smooth-surfaced erythematous mucosa. The biopsy specimen taken from the tumor was diagnosed as undifferentiated carcinoma, and that from the erythematous mucosa revealed Barrett's epithelium, respectively. EUS revealed a hypoechonic mass expanding into the adventitia (Ad) with lymph node involvement (N2). Preoperative CT examination revealed no distant metastasis. The lesion was preoperatively diagnosed as stage III undifferentiated carcinoma arising in Barrett's esophagus, and the patient underwent surgical resection.

 Histologically, the tumor was positive for vimentin and diagnosed as a primary esophageal undifferentiated carcinoma of the non-small-cell type arising in Barrett's esophagus. The tumor size was 57×29 mm, pT2 (mp), ly3, v1, infα, n4. After surgical resection, he was treated with chemotherapy using S-1 (100mg/day). However, he died due to aspiration pneumonia 10 months later. This is a very rare case of vimentin-positive esophageal undifferentiated carcinoma of the non-small-cell type arising in Barrett's esophagus.
