An autopsy case of doble cancer in the gingiva of the mandible and the esophagus was reported.
The case, an 86-year-old man, had a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the mandibular alveolar mucosa. Autopsy revealed an additional moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the lower part of the esophagus. The criteria for diagnosis, incidence, age and affected organs were discussed from clinicopathological findings reported in the Annual of the Pathological Autopsy Cases in Japan.
