To explore the clinical features and surgical management of esophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
The clinical data of patients with esophageal GISTs undergoing surgery at our hospital between January 1999 and April 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.
Of 14 patients, the male: female ratio was 8:6; the median age of the patients was 42 years (range 33 - 63 years). Dysphagia was the most common symptom, and all cases were diagnosed postoperatively. The tumors were resected by enucleation or esophagectomy or endoscopic submucosal resection. The median follow-up was 43.5 months, ranging from 2 to 142 months, with all patients have no recurrence and metastasis.
Esophageal GIST is rather rare. At present, surgical resection and postoperative diagnosis remain the mainstay for treatment of patients with esophageal GISTs in China.
探讨食管胃肠道间质瘤（GIST）的临床特征及外科治疗方法。
回顾性分析1999年1月至2012年4月在我院接受手术治疗的食管GIST患者的临床资料。
14例患者中，男女比例为8:6；患者中位年龄为42岁（范围33 - 63岁）。吞咽困难是最常见症状，所有病例均为术后确诊。肿瘤通过摘除术、食管切除术或内镜下黏膜下切除术切除。中位随访时间为43.5个月，范围2至142个月，所有患者均无复发和转移。
食管GIST较为罕见。目前，手术切除及术后诊断仍是我国食管GIST患者的主要治疗手段。
