A case of esophageal leiomyosarcoma, for which CT scan, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and angiography were employed for preoperative diagnosis is reported. CT scan identified an exophytic mass which had no rim-enhancement in the lower end of the esophagus. EUS revealed a homogeneous mass originating from the muscularis propria. Angiography showed a mildly hypervascular tumor. Histologically, the resected specimen was a leiomyosarcoma. These results suggest that the evaluation by EUS combined with CT scan and angiography is useful in differentiating smooth muscle tumors from other submucosal tumors.
报告了一例食管平滑肌肉瘤病例,术前诊断采用了CT扫描、内镜超声检查(EUS)和血管造影。CT扫描发现食管下端有一外生性肿块,无边缘强化。EUS显示一均匀肿块起源于固有肌层。血管造影显示肿瘤血管轻度增多。组织学检查,切除标本为平滑肌肉瘤。这些结果表明,EUS联合CT扫描和血管造影评估有助于鉴别平滑肌肿瘤与其他黏膜下肿瘤。
