Lymphangioma of the esophagus is a very rare submucosal tumor, but it can usually be removed without complication by endoscopic resection because of its small size and benign nature. My colleagues and I report a case of an uncommonly large lymphangioma (5.1 x 2.3 x 1.7 cm) in the distal esophagus treated by distal esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy for complete resection without narrowing the esophagus. The patient's immediate postoperative course was uneventful, and he remains well 6 months after the operation.
食管淋巴管瘤是一种非常罕见的黏膜下肿瘤，但由于其体积小且性质良性，通常可通过内镜切除，且无并发症。我和我的同事报告了一例发生在食管远端的罕见的大淋巴管瘤（5.1×2.3×1.7厘米），通过远端食管切除术和食管胃吻合术进行治疗，以实现完全切除且不使食管狭窄。患者术后即刻恢复过程顺利，术后6个月情况良好。
