Esophageal carcinoma usually metastasizes to the liver, distant lymph nodes and lungs. The histological subtype may influence the metastatic sites, with bone metastasis being rather uncommon. This is a report on a patient who presented with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and a concurrent skull metastasis.
