Adenocarcinoma in a 40-Year-Old Colonic Interposition Treated With Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy and Esophagogastric Anastomosis

Colon interposition for benign stricture is associated with significant perioperative complications that carry high morbidity and mortality, but long-term sequelae such as further strictures and colonic redundancy are often well-tolerated. These benign complications are frequently described in literature, but adenocarcinoma in the colonic graft is a rare complication. We describe a 60-year-old man with a history of benign esophageal stricture who was treated with colon interposition 40 years ago and presented with dysphagia secondary to stage 1 colon graft adenocarcinoma. He was successfully treated with an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy and primary esophagogastric anastomosis.
