Herein, we describe the case of a 20-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia of 2 months' duration associated with vomiting, moderate abdominal pain, decreased oral intake, and significant weight loss. During the past 3 years, the patient experienced intermittent mild abdominal pain with infrequent vomiting. Endoscopy at Jordan University Hospital showed a mass in the esophagus, and endoscopic biopsies were performed. The preliminary histopathological report excluded malignancy. Two days after endoscopy, the patient presented to the emergency department complaining of severely worsening pain and total dysphagia. The pain persisted despite intravenous paracetamol administration, which was concerning for esophageal perforation; therefore, an urgent surgical intervention was performed. The mass was removed surgically, along with a para-esophageal lymph node. The final histopathological results of the endoscopic and resected specimens supported the diagnosis of pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMHE). This is the first case reporting esophageal involvement of PMHE.
在此,我们描述了一名20岁女性的病例,该患者出现了持续2个月的吞咽困难,伴有呕吐、中度腹痛、口服摄入量减少和显著体重减轻。在过去3年中,患者经历了间歇性轻度腹痛,呕吐不频繁。约旦大学医院的内镜检查显示食管有一个肿块,并进行了内镜活检。初步组织病理学报告排除了恶性肿瘤。内镜检查两天后,患者因疼痛严重加剧和完全吞咽困难就诊于急诊科。尽管静脉注射了扑热息痛,但疼痛仍持续,这令人担心食管穿孔;因此,进行了紧急手术干预。手术切除了肿块以及一个食管旁淋巴结。内镜和切除标本的最终组织病理学结果支持假性肌源性血管内皮瘤(PMHE)的诊断。这是首例报告PMHE累及食管的病例。
