N2 - The most successful method for esophageal reconstruction in the early 20th century was the jejunodermatoesophagoplasty after Lexer, involving the presternal formation of a skin tube for passage reconstruction. A 59-year-old patient presented to our hospital with adenocarcinoma at the dermatojejunostomy 47 years after undergoing a Lexer procedure. The neoesophagus was removed, and the passage was reconstructed by a retrosternal colonic interposition. Although squamous cell carcinoma is known as a late complication of dermatoesophagoplasties, this is a reported case of adenocarcinoma formation.
