| Abstract: | Carcinoma developed in a 67-year-old woman with achalasia of the esophagus 23 years after esophagomyotomy. Postoperative manometric and radiologic studies showed satisfactory relief of esophageal obstruction. The development of carcinoma after an unusually long interval after adequate surgical treatment emphasizes the need for lifelong surveillance for this complication. |
