Two patients with multiple intrathorcic granular cell myoblastomas are described. In one case multiple tumours were present in the major airways and oesophagus. The patient presented with recurrent pulmonary infections and stridor due to airway obstruction. In the other case dysphagia caused by multiple oesophageal granular cell myoblastomas was the major symptom. Granular cell myoblastoma is a rare tumour of neurogenic origin with a characteristic histological appearance. The pattern of multiple tracheobranchial and oesophageal tumours is uncommon and forms the basis of this report.
本文描述了两名患有多发性胸内颗粒细胞成肌细胞瘤的患者。其中一例,主气道和食管存在多个肿瘤。该患者因气道阻塞出现反复肺部感染和喘鸣。另一例中,多发性食管颗粒细胞成肌细胞瘤导致的吞咽困难是主要症状。颗粒细胞成肌细胞瘤是一种起源于神经的罕见肿瘤,具有特征性的组织学表现。气管支气管和食管多发肿瘤的情况并不常见,这也是本报告的基础。
