Huge Liposarcoma of Esophagus Resected by Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: Case Report with Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas occurring in adults, but it rarely occurs in the gastrointestinal tract and more uncommonly in the esophagus. To the best of our knowledge, there are only 19 reported cases of esophageal liposarcoma in the literature published in English language up to the year 2008, and they were all treated by surgical methods. Here, we report a case of primary liposarcoma of the esophagus which was treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). ESD was well tolerated in this patient, suggesting that it may be a therapeutic option for primary esophageal sarcomas.

Liposarcoma of the esophagus is very rare. We experienced a huge (27.5 × 11.6 cm) liposarcoma of the esophagus. A 73-year-old man presented with severe dyspnea requiring emergency tracheal intubation. Computed tomography and esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a large submucosal tumor arising from the esophageal entrance and extending intraluminally to the lower esophagus. We successfully perform...

A 35-year-old man complained of dull pain after food intake. His medical history and findings from physical examinations and laboratory tests were unremarkable. Standard esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a huge mass in the cervical esophagus. On endoscopy, the sausage-like pedunculated tumor protruded into the lumen (▶Fig. 1). Chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed a large mass that was w...

noma (ACSCC) is quite rare, it can be recognized clearly using iodine staining [1]. Early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has recently been diagnosed using both narrow-band imaging (NBI) [2] and autofluorescence imaging (AFI) [3]. Here we report on the first case of earlystage ACSCC diagnosed by NBI and AFI and treated successfully by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). A 70-...
متن کاملPrimary malignant melanoma of the esophagus treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection: A case report
Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the esophagus. In the majority of cases, the disease originates in the mucosal layer of the esophagus, which is similar to other types of esophageal cancer. With the development of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), endoscopic resection is possible for cases in which melanomas are limited to the mucosal and ...
