Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is documented on every part of the gastrointestinal tract. It develops in the stomach and the small intestine most commonly, and also in the esophagus. A 44 year-old male patient was admitted due to dysphagia and weight loss. Chest CT showed about $15\times11\times11cm$ sized, well-defined, and lobulated soft tissue mass with central necrosis was noted in the posterior wall of lower esophagus throughout the lesser curvature of upper stomach. We performed the distal esophagectomy and total gastrectomy using thoracoabdominal incision. The tumor was positive at CD117 (c-kit) and CD 34, and was diagnosed as malignant GIST of the distal esophagus and upper stomach. The patient is on routine follow up at the out patient department for nineteen months up to now.

위장관 간질 종양은 위장관 전역에서 발생하며 그 중 위와 소장 등에 많이 생기며 식도에서도 발생한다. 44세 남성이 연하곤란과 체중감소를 주소로 내원하여 시행한 상부 위장관 내시경 검사 및 흉부 전산화 단층 촬영에서 식도 하부의 완전폐쇄, 위의 전방 편위 소견과 중앙부 괴사를 동반하는 최대 직경 15cm 정도의 저음영의 거대 종괴를 보여 흉복부 절개를 이용하여 하부 식도 및 위전적출술을 시행하였다 종양은 CDl17 (c-kit)와 CD34에서 양성을 보여 악성 위장관 간질 종양으로 확진되었으며 현재 외래 추적관찰 중이다.
