Abstract

A 39-year-old man presented with a esophageal submucosal tumor on regular check up examination. Preoperative exams showed the typical submucosal tumor as leiomyoma and operative procedure was enucleation for complete resection. Postoperative pathologic diagnosis including histologic and immunohistochemical study was compatible with plexiform schwannoma. Plexiform schwannoma is one of the least common variant of schwannoma that typically shows a plexiform or multinodular pattern. To our knowledge, there is rare case report of plexiform schwannoma originating in the esophagus and we report ore case with related literature.

39세 남자 환자가 건강검진에서 발견된 식도 점막하 종양을 주소로 내원하였다. 술 전 검사에서 평활근종으로 추정되어 눈종양적출술로 완전 절제를 시행하였다. 술 후 조직, 면역조직화학염색 등의 병리학적 진단으로 얼기형 신경집종으로 확진되었다. 얼기형 신경집종은 얼기형 또는 다결절 형태를 가지며 신경집종의 한 변형으로 매우 드물다. 본 논문은 식도에 드물게 생기는 얼기형 신경집종의 증례로, 다수의 관련된 논문과 함께 치험을 보고하는 바이다.
