Carcinoma developing in the neo-oesophagus following gastroplasty

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, UK.

Carcinoma developing after gastroplasty and fundoplication has been documented in only five cases. We report a further case occurring in a patient 4 years after initial surgery. The tumour originated in the newly created tubular extension. There was no evidence of a columnar lining in the true oesophagus prior to surgery. The development, technique and complications of gastroplasty and partial fundoplication are discussed with special mention of the diagnostic problems when a tumour develops in a patient who has undergone this procedure.
