| الوصف: | Background: Esophageal leiomyoma is a sporadic tumor in pediatrics; when it’s a giant leiomyoma and involves more than 2/3rd of the esophagus, esophagectomy may be the only option for the patient. In this Case report, a giant leiomyoma in a child that was enucleated with preserving the patient’s esophagus is reported. Case Presentation: A 13 years old male patient presented with dysphagia since two years. Based on the history, physical examination, imaging and pathology the patient was diagnosed with giant esophageal leiomyoma [10*10*8 cm]. The patient underwent a right anterolateral thoracotomy for tumor enucleation. The postoperative course was complicated with a leak which was handled with endoluminal stenting. The patient is now free of symptoms with a well-healed wound. Conclusion: Usually esophagectomy is performed in this size of leiomyoma. In our case, although the tumor occupied more than 2/3rd of the esophagus, the native esophagus was preserved successfully. Surgeons should always try their best to avoid esophagectomy in this kind of tumor, especially in this pediatric age group. |
