  • Title: Simultaneous superficial squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and early gastric adenocarcinoma.
    Author: Maeta M, Koga S, Kimura A.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1991 Dec; 38(6):554-6. PubMed ID: 1778590.
    Abstract:
    Although cases of simultaneous invasive cancer of the esophagus and primary gastric cancer have been reported sporadically, the incidence of the association of superficial esophageal cancer and early gastric cancer is extremely low. In this paper we report on two cases of the rare combination of superficial squamous cell cancer of the esophagus and simultaneous early adenocarcinoma of the stomach. A total of 18 such cases in the literature are reviewed and discussed with respect to surgical procedure and the choice of alimentary tract for the reconstruction of the esophagus.
