Abstract
- A rare case of schwannoma involving lower thoracic esophagus is presented. A 64-year-old male was seen with slowly progressing dysphagia for 2 years. Large sized submucosal tumor was found by endoscopy and chest CT. On surgery, tumor was very solid and tightly adherent to the adjacent tissue. Esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy was done.
