Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma is a slow-growing, well–differentiated variant of squamous carcinoma, with a propensity for local invasion into surrounding tissue. It is found most commonly in the oropharynx, genitalia, and the soles of the feet. Verrucous carcinoma of the esophagus (VCE) are very rare and are typically associated with chronic mucosal irritation or a long-term local disease process. We report a patient with VCE who had a long history of bile-reflux esophagitis after total gastrectomy.
