Man 61 yo consulted  by  right and left plantar pain. He says  it happened more one year ago with skin in foot and hand  thickening (photo). 

Now he has got progressive dysphagia for one month.

Ultrasound suggestion is  tumor of cervical esophagus.

MSCT  with  oral contrast [CT 1, CT 2, CT 3] : cervical esophagus is  thickening of the wall by tumor  covered the lumen.
