Abstract
A 12-year-old girl with moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the lower esophagus is reported because of its rare presentation in this age group. The patient was presented with vomiting and progressive dysphagia with associated weight loss for 3 months. We could not find any known etiological factors association with this patient. The case was treated with External Beam Radiotherapy by 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) technique with excellent immediate response.
