Giant benign esophageal schwannoma requiring esophagectomy

Bernard J Park et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2006 Jul.

Abstract

Benign esophageal schwannomas are rare tumors with only 14 cases reported in the English literature. All previous reports describe excision without major esophageal resection. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman with a giant esophageal schwannoma that required total thoracic esophagectomy.
