title: [A case of esophageal carcinoma complicated by Crohn's disease].
abstract: A case of an esophageal cancer complicated by Crohn's disease is reported. A 76-year-old female was admitted to the Nara National Hospital with symptoms of melena and dysphagia. An esophageal X-ray study revealed a circular, stenotic lesion at the lower intra-thoracic esophagus. Histological examination of a specimen confirmed a moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A barium enema was then given which showed an irregular stenotic lesion, 28 cm in length, at the terminus of the ileum. Thus, an esophageal blind resection and a resection of the terminal portion of the ileum was jointly performed. A histological examination of the resected ileum confirmed Crohn's disease.
