Fig. 6 53-year-old man with stent placed for palliation of dysphagia
caused by malignant tumor of uncertain origin encasing mid esophagus. Right
posterior oblique spot image from single-contrast esophagram shows focal
segment of marked luminal narrowing (black arrows) in distal end of
stent. Note irregular contour and abrupt, shelflike distal margins (white
arrows) of narrowed segment. At endoscopy, this finding was caused by
tumor ingrowth through uncovered distal end of stent.
