title: [Unusual late complication after esophagoplasty type Gavriliu II for esophageal stenosis from chemical burns--cancer of the esophagoplasty tube].
abstract: We present the case of a 56 year old female, who in 23 years after esophagoplasty type Gavriliu II, with pre-sternal tube for esophageal chemical burn stenosis, develops a cancer in the upper third of the gastric tube, with a fast evolution to malnutrition, through lumen obturation. The evolution post-esophagoplasty was marked by malfunction of the neo-esophagus, characterized through dysphagia and distal dilatation, requiring many abdominal and pre-sternal reinterventions. The objective of the present surgical intervention was to assure a way for enteral nutrition (gastrostomy for feeding) and to extirpate the gastro-esophagoplasty tube. It is discussed the characteristic feature of the case: the difficulty of the stage-evolutive integration of this malignant disease location, the etiopathogenic factors that contributed to the malignant evolution of the antral portion of the gastro-esophagoplasty tube, the limits of the surgical treatment.
