A report of radiation‐induced squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the esophagus is presented. This report indicates that the patient developed the carcinoma in situ many years after chest wall irradiation for breast cancer treatment. A review of the literature with respect to carcinogenesis after radiotherapy is included and recommendations for the follow‐up of patients having mediastinal radiation are suggested.
