Abstract
|
|
|
We experienced a case of upper esophageal leiomyoma successfully excised by thoracoscopic surgery. A 29-year-old male was presented with retrosternal discomfort and mild dysphagia and an esophagogram revealed smooth filling defect in the upper
third of
the intrathoracic esophagus, and esophagoscopy showed a submucosal tumor without mucosal infiltration. Chest CT and MRI were performed to confirm size, character and location of the esophageal mass, the absence of infiltration of surrounding
structures,
and to define mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
The tumor was excised by thoracoscopic surgery and it was diagnosed as leiomyoma(4×2×2cm in size). The postoperative course was uneventful.
