Background: Coagulation factor XI (FXI) deficiency is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease with a low incidence. It usually occurs after surgery or trauma [1, 2]; Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract and ranks sixth and fourth in the annual incidence and mortality of all malignant tumors in China [3]. But so far, surgery-based comprehensive treatment of esophageal cancer still dominates [4]. Case presentation: We report a case of a patient with FXI deficiency and lower esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in our hospital. Conclusions: The encouraging perioperative outcome enables us to have a deeper understanding of surgical treatment strategies for patients with FXI deficiency.
