Esophageal adenocarcinoma 20 years after esophageal atresia repair.
We report a case of esophageal adenocarcinoma 20 years after esophageal atresia repair. From one case report it is premature to recommend cancer surveillance for all esophageal atresia patients. However, the first survivors are now reaching an age when esophageal cancer related to chronic esophagitis may become more prevalent.
