Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study on 102 pathology reports for 4 years between the years 2001-2004 from the Department of Pathology University of Medical Sciences carried out and the following results were obtained. This is a retrospective study conducted on 102 pathology reports for 4 years between the years 2001-2004 from the Department of Pathology in Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences and the following results were obtained. Findings: 102 cases develop 49% cancer cases and 18.5% pre-cancerous cases and normal cases developed only 12%. The most common age group has been the eighth decade of life (40%) and 92% of their age has been above 50 years old. The most common type is squamous cell carcinoma with 68% and adenocarcinoma developed 22% of cases. Among 35 cases that their area had been specified, cases develop from 11.5% upper 1/3 area, 34% middle area, 40% lower area and 14.5% of gastroesophageal junction. The average age of individuals with esophageal cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, Barrett's esophagus and Esophagitis has been 68.12, 67.4, 68.3, 50.8 and 46.3 years old, respectively.
