Abstract
- Benign schwannoma of the esophagus is very rare. Diagnosis requires histology and immunohistochemical staining. We are reporting a case of benign schwannoma of the esophagus, incidentally diagnosed as a submucosal tumor of the esophagus in 66 year-old woman during the regular check-up. The tumor was enucleated through right thoracotomy, and was diagnosed as a benign schwannoma by immunohistochemical pathologic test. There has been no evidence of recurrence during 1 year follow-up.
