Benign esophageal tumors are uncommon, leiomyomas being the most frequent. However, esophageal schwannomas are exceedingly rare. We report here on two instances of large esophageal schwannomas treated by enucleation. A 63-year-old male and a 32-year-old female were referred to us for abnormal chest X-rays. Computed tomography of the chest documented sizeable growths in the upper thoracic esophagus, resulting in compression of membranous trachea posteriorly. By positron emission tomography, the tumors appeared hypermetabolic. In both instances, successful surgical enucleation was achieved. Histologic examination confirmed spindle cell tumors positive for S-100 protein by immunostaining.
良性食管肿瘤并不常见，其中平滑肌瘤最为常见。然而，食管神经鞘瘤极为罕见。我们在此报告两例通过摘除术治疗的巨大食管神经鞘瘤病例。一名63岁男性和一名32岁女性因胸部X线异常被转诊至我院。胸部计算机断层扫描显示胸段食管上段有较大肿物，导致后方膜性气管受压。通过正电子发射断层扫描，肿瘤表现为高代谢。在这两例病例中，均成功进行了手术摘除。组织学检查通过免疫染色证实梭形细胞瘤S-100蛋白呈阳性。
