Abstract:
We report a case of mediastinal lymph node recurrence of esophageal cancer after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We first administered chemotherapy and then performed esophagectomy. A 78-year-old man underwent ESD for early esophageal cancer at a different hospital in January 2015. H e was diagnosed pathologically with scc, pSM1, pHM1, pVM0, ly0, v0. Additional treatment was not administered because of his age. In June 2017, chest enhanced CT showed swollen mediastinal lymph nodes. This was diagnosed as a recurrence of esophageal cancer, and he presented at our hospital. We first performed chemotherapy for that lesion, because the swollen lymph node was large and may have invaded the surrounding organs. We then performed esophagectomy.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...
