Abstract
A 48-year-old man was referred to us because of a tumor in the esophagus. Abdominal CT and Chest CT revealed multiple abnormalities, intestinal malrotation, interrupted inferior vena cava, dilated azygous vein, and polysplenia. We performed esophagectomy with lymph nodes dissection, splenectomy and, retrosternal reconstruction with a gastric tube. He was discharged on postoperative day 32. It has been reported that patients with intestinal malformation occasionally have some other abnormality, Therefore esophagectomy in such cases could be more difficult. Preoperatively, we defined the abnormalities, and carefully planned the optimal operative procedure and approach. Esophagectomy was successfully performed in this patient with intestinal malrotation.
