Primary adenocarcinoma in a colonic oesophageal segment.
A case of primary adenocarcinoma of the colon in a segment used to reconstruct after an oesophageal resection is described. The original lesion was a relatively advanced adenocarcinoma of the gastro-oesophageal junction. An ACPS 'C' colon carcinoma was diagnosed 12 years later. A curative resection was achieved. The literature is reviewed with respect to late complications in colonic interpositions, including primary carcinomas.
