Abstract

We report a case with dysphagia for solids. A 51-year-old man with benign esophageal stricture was transferred for endoscopic treatment. He had lye ingestion history at 9 years old and underwent esophagectomy with right colonic interposition for the treatment of the benign esophageal stricture. But his symptom was acting up 2 years ago and lasted afterward even though he had underwent endoscopic treatments for dysphagia several times, including balloon dilation and stent insertion. He had polypoid enhancing wall thickening around anastomosis site of stomach with perigastric soft tissue density and suspicious nodular extension to omentum on the small bowel computed tomography. So he had a surgical resection of small bowel and jejunojejunostomy, and the pathological result was adenocarcinoma, intestinal type with soft tissue infiltration. Later he underwent total gastrectomy with segmental resection of interpositional colon and segmental resection of duodenum and ileo-colic anastomosis revision. And recently he has been on chemotherapy.
