title: Intramural hematoma of gastric tube after Ivor Lewis operation.
abstract: Intramural hematoma of transposed gastric tube after Ivor Lewis operation is an uncommon finding, which is difficult to diagnose and differentiate from perforation at presentation. We report a case of massive intramural hematoma in a transposed gastric tube after an Ivor Lewis operation that was successfully managed with conservative therapy.
