Description
Summary:We report the clinical case of esophageal cancer development in the patient who previously underwent bilateral lung transplantation. The oncological disease was characterized by extremely rapid growth; despite the regular post-transplant examination, esophageal cancer was diagnosed in IV stage (liver metastases). The tumor was complicated by recurrent massive bleeding. For that reason, according to vital indications, a subtotal esophagectomy with a plasty by wide gastric tube was performed. The postoperative period was uneventful. The postoperative chemotherapy was carried out and stabilization achieved.
