[A case of simultaneous association of an early esophageal carcinoma and an early gastric carcinoma with radical operation].

We encountered a case of simultaneous association of an intraepithelial esophageal carcinoma and an intramucosal gastric carcinoma with radical operation. Up to present, only four cases including this report had been printed in Japan. A 67-year-old with chronic cholecystitis was pointed out the esophageal lesion (O-IIa) in the Im area by FGS after it had demonstrated the gastric lesion (early I) at the posterior wall of the prepyrolus. We performed subtotal esophagectomy, total gastrectomy, pyroloplasty with esophagoileostomy through the retrosternal tunnel and lymph nodes dissection (R2). On gross inspection, there was no obvious lesion in the esophagus. Microscopic examination revealed no invasion of cancerous cells to lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and vessels. The patient followed post operative respiratory disorders which not lung edema but atelectasis caused because perioperative measurement of Extra Vascular Lung Water Index (EVLWI) was stable within normal values.
