Patients who had esophagectomy with colon interposition for benign disease have long survivals. Adenocarcinoma arising in the interposed colon is a possible event.

The woman is in good general condition, with a regular diet and without evidence of recurrent disease, 5 years later., (Copyright © 2019 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Published by Elsevier Inc.
