Esophageal adenocarcinoma following Heller myotomy for achalasia
Endoscopy.

Abstract
We describe a patient who developed an esophageal adenocarcinoma 25 years after esophagomyotomy for achalasia. The tumor arose in a Barrett's esophagus, suggesting gastroesophageal acid reflux following the Heller procedure.
