[Adenocarcinoma of the gastric stump].

Cancer of the gastric stump is a classical late complication of gastrectomy for benign lesion. This tumor is defined by various criteria, including a minimal delay of 5 years since the initial gastrectomy and the benignity of the initial lesion. Early diagnosis is difficult since suggestive clinical signs are usually associated with advanced tumors.

Patients And Methods: Hyperselective arteriography was carried out in 14 patients operated for esophagus cancer with a gastric plasty replacement.
