Adenocarcinoma arising in a colonic interposition after esophagectomy for benign stricture and review of the literature.

Colon interposition in oesophageal replacement after oesophagectomy for benign strictures is associated with significant perioperative complications that carry high morbidity and mortality. Long-term sequelae such as further strictures and colonic redundancy are frequent. Adenocarcinoma in the colonic graft is rare. A 70-year-old female presented to our clinic with symptoms of dysphagia. When she was 51 years, she underwent left colonic oesophageal interposition for an oesophageal stricture caused by caustic ingestion. Studies revealed colonic adenocarcinoma in interposed colonic graft, with latero-cervical lymph nodes. She was proposed to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Although long-term risk analysis is lacking, it's not unreasonable to propose endoscopic screening according to general colonic cancer guidelines in patients with colonic interposition in oesophageal replacement after oesophagectomy.
