She developed a stricture of the esophageal anastomosis requiring frequent dilatations. Six years after an antireflux procedure because of a difficult treatable severe gastroesophageal reflux, an advanced adenocarcinoma was detected at the site of the end-to-end anastomosis of the previous atresia.展开更多
文摘Esophageal cancer development after previous atresia repair is extremely rare in young patients. We present the clinical course of a patient who developed an adenocarcinoma of the esophagus at the age of 22 years, after repair of a tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal atresia in the neonatal period.
