A Rare Case of Ileocecal Lymph Node Recurrence After Surgery in Siewert's Classification Type I Esophagogastric Junction Adenocarcinoma.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although recurrence after surgery for esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma frequently develops in the mediastinal and para-aortic lymph nodes (LN), distant LN recurrence in the mesocolon is rare. We report a rare case of ileocecal LN metastasis in the ascending mesocolon after radical surgery for an EGJ adenocarcinoma. CASE REPORT We performed subtotal esophagectomy with mediastinal and para-gastric LN dissection in a patient with an advanced EGJ adenocarcinoma. Clinicopathologically, the patient was diagnosed with type I EGJ adenocarcinoma based on Siewert's classification (pathological T3N1M0). One year after surgery, computed tomography showed enlarged lymph nodes around the ileocolic artery, and further examination was performed. Although positron emission tomography-computed tomography showed that the lesion had moderate uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose, we did not find the reason for the enlarged lymph nodes. Finally, laparoscopic ileocecal resection was performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Clinicopathological tests revealed that the specimen was a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, which was strongly suspected to be a metastasis of the EGJ adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS We encountered a rare case of EGJ adenocarcinoma that spread to the ileocecal LN in the ascending mesocolon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such report in the literature to date. Laparoscopic ileocecal resection for metastasis to the ascending mesocolon seems reasonable as a local control.
