A 73year-old man underwent chemoradiotherapy for cervical esophageal cancer 10 years ago. The effect of treatment was clinical complete response, and he was followed up by endoscopy and CT for 9 years. However, he came to hospital 9years after CRT because of dysphagia. We found local recurrence in cervical esophagus. At first, we could not detect cancer cell in specimen with pathologic findings, finally we diagnosed it suspicion of squamous cell carcinoma. We carried out laryngopharyngoesophagectomy. Pathologic findings revealed pT3, INFb, pIM0, ly0, v0, pPM0, pDM0, pRM0, pN0, pStage II. We report here our clinical experience, local recurrences 10 years after chemoradiotherapy for cervical esophageal cancer, together with some literature review.
