A case of a solitary meningocerebral metastasis from an esophageal carcinoma is described and the rarity of such an occurrence, as compared with cerebral metastases from other organs, is stressed. A possible metastatic pathway from the esophagus to the brain through the vertebral veins is postulated. Cancer 42:2461–2465, 1978.
