Abstract
Two cases of carcinoma occurring in the cutaneous portion of an artificial esophagus
are presented. The possibility of gastric juice as an irritant and causative factor
in these cases is discussed. The treatment of the disease (radical resection of the
carcinoma and reconstruction of the esophagus with a mobilized portion of the ileum)
is described. The use of a skin tube as replacement for the esophagus is condemned.
