Abstract

We present this patient with multiple giant esophageal leiomyoma, which was accidently diagnosed by chest X-ray, due to its very rare and interesting nature. Four big masses, including one that was 10x4.5x2 cm, and many small encapsulated masses in the muscle layer of esophagus were enucleated and totally excised via a right thoracotomy. Leiomyomas can be asymptomatic, even though they are multiple and very big size. In such cases, enucleation via thoracotomy is an appropriate choice. Closure of the esophageal muscle layer is advised to prevent the postoperative complications.

Özet

Akciğer grafisinde tesadüfen saptanan multipl dev özofageal leiomyom olgusu sunuldu. Sağ torakotomi ile özofagus kas tabakasındaki biri 10x4.5x2 cm boyutlarında 4 adet büyük ve çok sayıda küçük kapsüllü kitleler enükleasyonla total olarak eksize edildi. Leiomyomlar bazen multipl ve çok büyük olmalarına rağmen asemptomatik olabilirler. Bu tip olgularda torakotomi ile enükleasyon uygun bir cerrahi seçenektir. Özofagusun kas tabakasının kapatılması, ameliyat sonrası komplikasyonların engellenmesi için tavsiye edilmektedir.
