More Information
Summary:A-60-year-old man was referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment for a longitudinal elevation from the upper to lower esophagus and a short segment Barrett's esophagus in the esophagogastric junction. Histlogical examination of the biopsy specimen from the elevated lesion showed adenocarcinoma. Upper gastrointestinal series showed the same findings as EGD, and trapezoid deformity in the lower esophagus.Sub-total esophagectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma with massive lymphovascular invasion.Based on these findings, we thought that this tumor was esophageal adenocarcinoma arising from Barrett's esophagus and forming a longitudinal elevation.
