Occult Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Presenting as Bone-Predominant Carcinoma of Unknown Primary: A Case Report of a p40-Negative Vertebral Metastasis.

Background and Clincal significance: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) classically presents with progressive dysphagia and weight loss, but atypical presentations may redirect the diagnostic workup before the esophageal primary is identified. We report a case illustrating the simultaneous convergence of three diagnostic pitfalls: absence of dysphagia, bone-predominant metastatic presentation initially managed as carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP), and negative p40 staining in a vertebral biopsy in a patient subsequently confirmed to have invasive mid-esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Influence of Hemoglobin Level on Muscle and Physical Functions, Activities of Daily Living, and Quality of Life in Patients With Hematological Malignancies.
