Abstract

A rare case of schwannoma involving lower thoracic esophagus is presented. A 64-year-old male was seen with slowly progressing dysphagia for 2 years. Large sized submucosal tumor was found by endoscopy and chest CT. On surgery, tumor was very solid and tightly adherent to the adjacent tissue. Esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy was done.

식도의 양성종양은 드물며 그 중에서도 신경집종은 매우 드물다. 2년 동안 서서히 진행하는 삼킴 곤란을 주소로 64세 남자가 방문하였다. 내시경과 흉부전산단층촬영에서 큰 점막하 종양이 관찰되었다. 수술시야에서 종양은 매우 단단했으며 주위조직과의 유착이 견고하였다. 식도절제술 및 식도위연결술을 시행하였다.
