Abstract

We present two cases of tumor overgrowth after stenting in patients with inoperable esophageal cancers that were managed by placement of a second tube. The macroscopic pattern of the tumor overgrowth was infiltrative, contraindicating it for laser therapy. Dysphagia was solved in both patients by insertion of expandable metal stents.
