A 55‐year‐old Chinese woman with thoracic esophageal cancer associated with right aortic arch and thyroid adenoma was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography revealed a right aortic arch with mirror‐image branching and a mass in the esophagus. The following barium‐coated esophagograms and esophagoscopy showed an ulcerative and infiltrative tumor in the upper thoracic esophagus. The patient also had an almost 10‐year history of thyroid adenoma.
