A 64-year-old man with pseudosarcoma of the esophagus is described. Morphological examinations were made and the tumor showed a polypoid macroscopic appearance. Imprint cytology revealed that many fusiform bizarre tumor cells occurring in clusters. These cells each contained a large nucleus with some prominent nucleoli and a granular chromatin pattern. We reported for the first time that the cytological findings for the sarcoma-like cells of the esophageal pseudosarcoma. These cystological findings and polypoid growth appearance of the esophageal carcinoma suggest the carcinoma may be a pseudosarcoma.
