Colon Conduit is a commonly used form of reconstruction post esophagectomy either for malignancy, strictures due to caustic acid ingestion, or other benign conditions. Carcinoma of the Colon Conduit following esophagectomy is a complication with an extremely low incidence and the management options are not clear. Thorough search of literature showed only 16 such cases. Hence, we report a case of a patient who underwent colon conduit reconstruction for a gastroesophageal (GE) junction tumor and developed a recurrence 4 years after the initial surgery.
