Clinicopathologic features and clinical outcomes of @entity674 ( @entity674 ) in esophagus are limited, because of the relatively rare incidence of esophageal @entity674 . Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features and clinical outcomes of esophageal @entity674 , and to investigate the potential factors that may predict prognosis. @entity2910 cases were obtained from our center and from case reports and clinical studies extracted from MEDLINE. Clinicopathologic features and survivals were analyzed and compared with @entity1820 from our center.The most common location was lower esophagus (86.84%), followed by middle and upper esophagus (11.40% and 1.76%). The majority of esophageal @entity674 were classified as high-risk category (70.83%). Mitotic index was correlated with histologic type, mutational status, and @entity5 size. The 5-year disease-free survival and disease-specific survival were 65.1% and 65.9%, respectively. @entity5 size, mitotic index, and National Institutes of Health risk classification were associated with prognosis of esophageal @entity674 . Only @entity5 size, however, was the independent risk factor for the prognosis of esophageal @entity674 . In comparison to @entity1820 , the distribution of @entity5 size, histologic type, and National Institutes of Health risk classification were significantly different between esophageal @entity674 and @entity1820 . The disease-free survival and disease-specific survival of esophageal @entity674 were significantly lower than that of @entity1820 .The most common location for esophageal @entity674 was lower esophagus, and most of the esophageal @entity674 are high-risk category. @entity5 size was the independent risk factor for the prognosis of esophageal @entity674 . Esophageal @entity674 differ significantly from @entity1820 in respect to clinicopathologic features. The prognosis of esophageal @entity674 was worse than that of @entity1820 .
