Abstract
We reported a rare case of triple cancer of the stomach, lung and esophagus after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for esophageal varices. A patient was a 66-year-old male. In Februaly 1983, he developed massive bleeding from the esophageal varices, and at the same time, early gastric cancer (Type I+IIa) was found. We injected 3oml of 5 ethanolamine oleate intravariceally. After 18 months later from sclerotherapy, esophageal varices disappeared. In October 1984, subtotal gastrectomy was performed for the early gastric cancer. In June 1989, the patient was readmitted with complaints of disturbance of swallowing. Endoscopic examination revealed esophageal cancer at middle third of esophagus, and thoracic CT showed lung cancer in S10 of a right lung. Also, reported cases of esophageal cancer after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for esophageal varices in j apan were reviewed.
