A case of tongue carcinoma metastasizing from esophageal carcinoma is reported. A 50-year-old man drank and smoked neavily since he was 30 years old. Alcoholic liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices were diagnosed at the age of 47 years. Esophageal carcinoma was also diagnosed in May 1999, when he was 50 years old. Soon after that, he noticed a mass at the right edge of the tongue. It was removed, and the histopathological diagnosis was undifferentiated carcinoma metastasizing from the esophagus. Metastases to the brain, lung, pancreas, trochanter major, and eyes were found subsequently, and he died of multiple organ failure and cancerous cachexia on September 6, 1999. To our knowledge, few reports have been published on carcinoma of the esophagus metastasizing simultaneously to the organs described above.
