    Abstract:
    The esophagectomy and total left pneumonectomy were carried out in a 53-year-old male who had developed pyothorax in the pleural fistula of the bronchi and esophagus due to esophageal cancer, and then reconstruction of the esophagus by route of the anterior thoracic wall was performed using stomach tube biphasically. The postoperative course was favorable, and oral intake was possible, and his physical condition recovered as the patient could repeat stopping out from hospital while he died by pneumonia after 7 months. The remote metastasis or metastasis to the mediastinal lymph-node were not noted by autopsy. It is considered that there are cases having indication for active resection among A3-esophageal cancers.
