Esophageal cancer is a disease with high mortality. This is mainly due to late presentations with nonspecific symptoms. Despite advances in surgery and chemoradiotherapy, it is the eighth most common cancer but the sixth deadliest. It is reportedly common in older patients but rare in young ones. In this case report, we present a 29-year-old male patient with no prior medical condition who presented with hematemesis to the emergency unit and was found to have esophageal cancer with the biopsy. Not only is esophageal cancer rare in young adults, but hematemesis is a rare symptom in esophageal cancer patients.
