Neurogenic tumors are the most prevalent tumors of the mediastinum, and schwannomas are the most common type of neurogenic tumor. Primary neurogenic neoplasm of the esophagus is uncommon and malignant schwannoma of the esophagus is extremely rare. We report a case of a 27-year-old female presenting with dysphagia and palpitations who was found to have a lobulated tumor in the mediastinum that w...

Esophageal strictures commonly complicate radiation therapy for neck and thoracic malignancies. We here report a case of radiation induced stricture esophagus and illustrate the classical barium esophagogram in this condition. 58 year old male with past history of carcinoma esophagus treated with radiotherapy had presented with recurrence of dysphagia. Dysphagia was insidious in onset and was p...

Granular cell tumor (GCT) of esophagus is a rare lesion, usually found incidentally during upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination undertaken for another reasons. The origin of this neoplasm is still unclear but no organ seems to be immune to this neoplasm. Although most of the lesions are benign, few reports of malignant GCT, synchronous as well as metachronous, are also reported. It can...

Leiomyomas are benign and most common smooth muscle neoplasm that can occur in any organ most commonly in uterus, small bowel and esophagus. A spectrum of histological variants is noted and metaplasia in leiomyoma is very rare, while adipose metaplasia in leiomyoma is commonly noted. We present a case of pure cartilaginous metaplasia in leiomyoma which is a very rare phenomenon.

Coarctation of the aorta secondary to a cervicomediastinal thorotrastoma developed in a 30-year-old man 25 years after carotid arteriography. Other local manifestations of the thorotrastoma included occlusion of the left common carotid artery and partial occlusion of the left vertebral and left subelavian arteries, bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis, periesophageal adhesions, and multi...

Owing to recent advances in diagnostic and surgical techniques for cancer, a patient diagnosed with two or more neoplasms is not rare. We report on the case of a 58-year-old male with multiple primary malignant neoplasms, who suffered from three histological types of malignant neoplasm in six organs, namely the glottis, renal pelvis, urinary bladder, oral floor, prostate, and esophagus in chron...

introduction primary malignant esophageal melanoma makes up 0.1% to 0.2% of all esophageal malignancies. most physicians assume malignant melanoma as a skin originated neoplasm, however this type of melanoma can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract especially in the esophagus. thus, it is essential to consider malignant melanoma in differential diagnosis of any esophagus masses. case pr...

BACKGROUND Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is a relative common malignancy with a very poor prognosis, even adopting an integrated and multidisciplinary approach. According to the literature, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) rarely originate from the esophagus. Moreover there are not reports of synchronous occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma and GIST at esophageal site. CASE PRESE...
