Popis: We report a radiation stricture of the esophagogastric junction with an adjacent extraluminal cavity formed secondary to radiation in a patient receiving 4,500 rads for a histiocytic lymphoma of the stomach. We suggest that the presence of a radiosensitive lymphoma may have undermined the normal reparative response to radiation of the esophagogastric junction and predisposed it to stricture and cavity formation at this dose of radiation.
