Venous malformations are an extremely infrequent condition in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the esophagus. We report a rare case of an adult with an asymptomatic mass located in the mediastinum and in whom the diagnosis and treatment of a venous malformation of the esophagus was performed through a thoracoscopic approach. When dealing with a hypervascularized submucosal esophageal tumor, venous malformations can be among the differential diagnoses.
静脉畸形在胃肠道中极为罕见,特别是在食管。我们报告了一例罕见的成年患者,其纵隔内存在无症状肿块,通过胸腔镜方法对食管静脉畸形进行了诊断和治疗。在处理高度血管化的食管黏膜下肿瘤时,静脉畸形可能是鉴别诊断之一。
