ABSTRACT
An esophageal squamous cell carcinoma measuring 18.3 cm in length and 5 cm in diameter was found in the mediastinum of a 53-year man. The patient underwent a modified 3-stage esophagectomy and an esophagogastrostomy at the cervical level (Wu's method). The operation was performed smoothly and the patient recovered uneventfully after the operation. The patient was followed up for 6 months after discharge and reported no difficulties in eating with improved quality of life. This case represents the world's longest esophageal cancer that had been surgically removed. Local advanced esophageal cancer should be removed immediately to prevent potential occurrence of esophageal obstruction, tracheoesophageal fistula or aorto-esophageal fistula.
