Abstract
|
|
|
The early esophgeal carcinoma is limited to the mucosa or submucosa without lymph node metastsis which shows good 5-years survival rate. It is nearly 85~90% nowadays, if we just find and manage it.
It is really helpful to use the endoscope in management and diagnosis, in addition the biopsy under the endoscopic finding.
We experienced one case of early esophageal carcinoma. The patient was 57 years old female, who ingested lye 27 years ago for suicidal attempt, after 10 years, the dysphagia was aggravated slowly, Before admission dysphagia was severly aggravated
during
2 months. Confirmation of diagnosis was made by endoscopic biopsy.
Operation method was substernal colon bypass and total esophagectomy through right thoracotomy. Postoperative course was smooth.
We report early esophgeal carcinoma related to lye stricture that was detected by the method of endoscopic examination and biopsy. It is important to screen the patients with longstanding history of benign esophageal stricture by the endoscopic
biopsy.
