Neurogenic tumors are the most prevalent tumors of the mediastinum, and schwannomas are the most common type of neurogenic tumor. Primary neurogenic neoplasm of the esophagus is uncommon and malignant schwannoma of the esophagus is extremely rare. We report a case of a 27-year-old female presenting with dysphagia and palpitations who was found to have a lobulated tumor in the mediastinum that was compressing the esophageal lumen. The tumor was successfully treated surgically without recurrence. The final diagnosis, on histopathological examination of the specimen, was malignant schwannoma.
神经源性肿瘤是纵隔最常见的肿瘤，而神经鞘瘤是最常见的神经源性肿瘤类型。食管原发性神经源性肿瘤并不常见，食管恶性神经鞘瘤极为罕见。我们报告一例27岁女性，因吞咽困难和心悸就诊，发现纵隔有一个分叶状肿瘤，压迫食管腔。该肿瘤经手术成功治疗，无复发。对标本进行组织病理学检查后，最终诊断为恶性神经鞘瘤。
