Core Tip	Primary mucoepidermoid cancer (MEC) of the esophagus, including the sclerosing variant, is rarely reported, and sclerosing MEC with “tissue eosinophilia” has never been reported in this location. The rarity of this latter condition has precluded a thorough understanding of esophageal MEC. Heightened recognition of MEC in this location is also necessary to distinguish MEC from squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma. This distinction has therapeutic implications. Based largely on past experience managing tumors in the salivary gland, MEC is characterized by a poor response to adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy; notwithstanding a poor response to surgery, this treatment approach remains the mainstay of management.
