Ann Thorac Surg. 2012 Jun;93(6):2047-8. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2011.11.023.

Abstract

Esophageal duplication is a rare congenital malformation containing different types of tissues. We report the case of a woman with a large mediastinal tumor. After surgical resection, histologic examination showed pancreatic adenocarcinoma arising from esophageal duplication. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given briefly afterward.
