Abstract
- A 39-year-old man presented with a esophageal submucosal tumor on regular check up examination. Preoperative exams showed the typical submucosal tumor as leiomyoma and operative procedure was enucleation for complete resection. Postoperative pathologic diagnosis including histologic and immunohistochemical study was compatible with plexiform schwannoma. Plexiform schwannoma is one of the least common variant of schwannoma that typically shows a plexiform or multinodular pattern. To our knowledge, there is rare case report of plexiform schwannoma originating in the esophagus and we report one case with related literature.
