We present an unusual case of a 41-year-old male patient with a large lymphangioma of the esophagus. Endoscopy revealed that the structure measured 60 × 10 mm in the mucosa and the submucosa and had a heterogenous echo pattern. The esophageal mass was successfully resected by endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection. However, most esophageal lymphangiomas that are larger than 2 cm in diameter reported in the literature can be removed only through open surgery. Thus far, we know of no reported cases of endoscopic resection as a treatment for this case.
我们报告了一例罕见的41岁男性患者，患有巨大食管淋巴管瘤。内镜检查显示，该结构在黏膜和黏膜下层的尺寸为60×10毫米，具有不均匀的回声模式。通过内镜分片黏膜切除术成功切除了食管肿物。然而，文献报道中大多数直径大于2厘米的食管淋巴管瘤只能通过开放手术切除。迄今为止，尚无内镜切除治疗该病例的报道。
