Pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma associated with repaired congenital tracheoesophageal fistula and esophageal atresia

Pediatr Pulmonol. 2010 Feb;45(2):202-4. doi: 10.1002/ppul.21148.

Abstract

We report a 19-year-old man with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who had a history of vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheal, esophageal, renal, and radial limb defects (VACTERL) association and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) + esophageal atresia (EA) repair as an infant. Children that undergo TEF + EA repair may have an increased risk for developing cancer as they reach adulthood.
