Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is found almost exclusively at the level of the cardia. It is exceptional to find it in the middle part of the esophagus in the absence of involvement of the cardia. In the long term, caustic burns of the esophagus may favour malignant degeneration. The latter is always squamous cell carcinoma. In our patient, a 28 year old man, a cylindrical carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus was detected four years after the ingestion of concentrated sodium hypochlorite. The caustic burn followed by carcinoma were of special significance in this case owing to the development of an adenocarcinoma.
食管腺癌几乎仅见于贲门水平。在贲门未受累的情况下，在食管中部发现腺癌实属罕见。长期来看，食管腐蚀性灼伤可能会促进恶性变。后者通常为鳞状细胞癌。在我们的患者中，一名28岁男性，在摄入浓次氯酸钠四年后检测出胸段食管的圆柱状癌。由于发生了腺癌，腐蚀性灼伤后继发癌在该病例中具有特殊意义。
