  • Title: Barrett's adenocarcinoma 52 years after subtotal esophagectomy for pediatric peptic stricture.
    Author: Dunn LJ, Robertson AG, Immanuel A, Griffin SM.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2010 Feb; 89(2):604-6. PubMed ID: 20103354.
    Abstract:
    Barrett's esophagus results from the long-term effects of both acid and bile reflux. After subtotal esophagectomy and reconstruction with a gastric tube, many patients experience profound reflux. Development of Barrett's epithelium in the esophageal remnant has been reported. Here we report the case of a man who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in his esophageal remnant on a background of Barrett's change 52 years after undergoing one of the first esophageal resections for benign disease as a child.
