%X This report describes a complicated course of a 58-year-old patient with multicentric BarrettĄ¯s carcinoma within a long-segment of Barrett metaplasia. After abdominal-thoracic resection of the cancer, with incomplete removal of the long-segment metaplastic lesion, invasive carcinoma was diagnosed in the remnant BarrettĄ¯s segment. Endoscopic mucosal resection was done, but BarrettĄ¯s mucosa was left in situ again. Recurrent tumor growth was diagnosed only few months later. Finally, transthoracic complete resection on the remnant BarrettĄ¯s segment was performed. Thus, our case demonstrates impressively the appearance of multicentric adenocarcinomas in BarrettĄ¯s esophagus and underlines the necessity of resection of the complete Barrett mucosa.
