Multicentric Adenocarcinomas in a Long-Segment of Barrett’s Esophagus
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report describes a complicated course of a 58-year-old patient with multicentric Barrett's carcinoma within a long-segment of Barrett metaplasia. After abdominal-thoracic resection of the cancer, with incomplete removal of the long-segment metaplastic lesion, invasive carcinoma was diagnosed in the remnant Barrett's segment. Endoscopic mucosal resection was done, but Barrett's mucosa was left in situ again. Recurrent tumor growth was diagnosed only few months later. Finally, transthoracic complete resection on the remnant Barrett's segment was performed. Thus, our case demonstrates impressively the appearance of multicentric adenocarcinomas in Barrett's esophagus and underlines the necessity of resection of the complete Barrett mucosa.

Surveys suggest that approximately 20 percent of U.S. adults have symptoms of GERD at least once a week.4 A subgroup of patients with GERD develop severe complications that include erosive esophagitis, stricture formation, Barrett’s esophagus, and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Because Barrett’s esophagus is thought to be associated with the development of...

Adenocarcinomas of stomach and esophagus are frequently associated with preceding inflammatory alterations of the normal mucosa. Whereas intestinal metaplasia of the gastric mucosa is associated with higher risk of malignization, Barrett’s disease is a risk factor for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Barrett’s disease is characterized by the substitution of the squamous mucosa of the esophagus ...

Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is defined as columnar metaplasia of esophageal squamous epithelium, of any length, that can be recognized at endoscopy, and is confirmed to have intestinal metaplasia (goblet cells) by mucosal biopsy analysis of the tubular esophagus (1). By definition, this disease does not include intestinal metaplasia of the cardia. Thus, the current definition of BE includes indivi...
