Abstract
Band erosion is one late complication of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), with the reported incidence between 1% and 28%. Far less common is oesophageal adenocarcinoma after LAGB, with only three cases previously described. Here we report a single case of complete gastric inlet obstruction with oesophageal adenocarcinoma and complete internalization of a gastric band 19 years after its placement.
