| Popis: | Highlights • Esophageal Schwannoma is a rare tumor with only few cases reported in the literature. • In general, Schwanommas are rarely found in the gastrointestinal tract. • Esophagic schwanommas is the least common gastrointestinal form of presentation. • The knowledge about a new case of esophagic schwanomma, impacts in obtaining more information about the clinical course and surgical treatment of this tumor. Introduction Esophageal Schwannoma is a rare tumor that represents the least frequent mesenchymal tumor of the esophagus and represents a condition with only a few cases reported in the literature Presentation of a case We report a 40-year-old female with a 5 years history of gastroesophageal reflux, repeated history of pharyngitis, odynophagia that culminated in progressive oropharyngeal dysphagia to solids. A barium esophagogram revealed a filling defect in the superior and middle thirds of the esophagus. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a smooth elevated lesion in the upper third of the esophagus, impossible to resect by this mean. An open left cervical approach revealed an 80 × 45 × 20 mm large tumor, which was resected. Discussion In general, Schwanommas are rarely found in the gastrointestinal tract (GI), while the great majority occur in the stomach, esophagic is the least common GI form of presentation. Conclusion The knowledge about a new case, impacts in obtaining more information about the clinical course and surgical treatment of this tumor. |
