Esophageal schwannoma was extremely rare and difficult to differentiate from other submucosal tumors. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman who suffered from dysphagia and retrosternal pain for a month. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a submucosal tumor, located 23-25cm from the incisors arising from the esophagus. The patient underwent subtotal esophagectomy. The histopathological finding confirmed the diagnosis of esophageal schwannoma. Her postoperative course was uneventful and free of recurrence 2 years after the operation.
食管神经鞘瘤极为罕见，且难以与其他黏膜下肿瘤相鉴别。我们报告一例55岁女性患者，她因吞咽困难和胸骨后疼痛1个月前来就诊。内镜超声检查发现一个黏膜下肿瘤，位于距门齿23 - 25厘米处，起源于食管。该患者接受了食管次全切除术。组织病理学检查结果证实为食管神经鞘瘤。术后她恢复顺利，术后2年无复发。
