[Association of secondary short esophagus and adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction].
The case of a 39-yr-old male with adenocarcinoma which arose on short oesophagus secondary to congenital hiatal hernia is reported. The patient was treated by oesophagogastric resection and intrathoracic anastomosis. After a short analysis of the literature, the infrequent incidence of hiatal hernia and the rarity of secondary short oesophagus are considered and the association in question is attributed to chance.
