Abstract

Read online

Esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum is a rare histology and can be difficult to diagnose prior to resection. To date, there have been 28 cases of resected esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum reported. Herein we describe a case found in the stomach of a patient who previously underwent a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. We report the preoperative, intraoperative, and postprocedural care. We review gross and histologic pathology.
