Fenglin Jiang (2026) conducted a case report in Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with left atrial compression (n=1). Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was evaluated on Detection of cardiac compression. Echocardiography revealed a 76x60 mm recurrent esophageal squamous cell carcinoma mass causing significant compression of the left atrium in a 53-year-old male.
