A case of corrosion and necrosis of the esophagus and stomach after ingestion of fluid containing copper sulfate, ethylene glycol and methanol is presented. Esophagectomy and gastrectomy were performed in a primary stage. Four months later reconstruction was carried out, using a right-sided isoperistaltic segment of colon. The mechanism of caustic chemical ingestion injuries and their treatment are discussed.
