摘要

Giant solitary fibrous tumor of the esophagus is a very rare neoplasm. We herein report a successful surgically treated solitary fibrous tumor of the esophagus. A 49year-old man presented with a history of difficulty in swallowing and chest pain. The preoperative diagnostic workup, including a computed tomographic chest scan, endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography, and barium swallow, demonstrated a giant pedunculated intraluminal mass in the esophagus. The tumor was completely resected through a transthoracic esophagotomy, combined with an intraoperative endoscopy. A microscopic examination and immunohistochemical studies supported the diagnosis of a benign solitary fibrous tumors of the esophagus. The patient remained well with no evidence of recurrence 16 months after surgery.
