| Abstrakt: | A 57-year-old African American male was admitted for workup of unintentional weight loss. He was found to have an esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Electrocardiogram (ECG) readings demonstrated deep Q waves in leads V1-V2 with T wave flattening, which raised concern for a septal infarct. Myocardial infarction (MI) was subsequently ruled out through clinical, imaging, and laboratory analysis. The ECG findings were deemed as a pseudo-infarct pattern in the setting of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
