Résumé
Patients who had esophagectomy with colon interposition for benign disease have long survivals. Adenocarcinoma arising in the interposed colon is a possible event. We describe a 65-year-old woman in whom we performed 37 years ago an esophagectomy with left colon interposition for lye-induced strictures. At endoscopy an obstructing adenocarcinoma in the interposed colon was detected. She underwent complete endoscopic removal of the tumor. The woman is in good general condition, with a regular diet and without evidence of recurrent disease, 5 years later.
