Rositsa-
From what I can tell, primary esophageal lymphoma is extraordinarily rare-- I mean RARE. Like maybe one reported case in the US every year.

The one major published paper I found was written by the following doctors, affiliated (at one time, maybe not anymore) with the medical centers listed beneath their names. I suggest contacting one of them and seeing what they know, if they can direct you to some resources, perhaps a noted expert in the field. Don't feel like you're imposing, if they can help, I'm sure they will.
