    <abstract locale="en_US">Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common neoplasm which&#xA0;incidence shows an increasing trend in most populations. This article&#xA0;presents a case of 79-year-old woman with diagnosis of differentiated&#xA0;squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus as two adjacent mas with&#xA0;metastasis, which invaded the perigastric and distal esophagus lymph nodes.&#xA0;The patient underwent esophagectomy and gastroesophagotomy. The&#xA0;jejunostomy tube was also embedded. The presence of two simultaneous&#xA0;esophageal tumoral lesions is extremely uncommon and requires further&#xA0;assessments. The prognosis and survival of such patients not seems to be&#xA0;worse than those of patients with isolated esophageal neoplasm.</abstract>
