Rare diseases of esophagus: Surgical treatment of cysts in adults. Case report.
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports 2021 March 7
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Esophageal cysts (EC) are congenital, extremely rare malformation. Up to 80% of EC are diagnosed in childhood, therefore, we can find only few clinical observations of EC in adults in literature.
CASE PRESENTATION: During the period from October to December 2019, a successful surgical treatment of 2 patients (1 male and 1 female) with enterogenous and duplication cysts of esophagus was performed at the Clinic of Faculty Surgery at Sechenov University. In both cases thoracic tumors were incidental findings during routine health investigation.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Clinical manifestations of ECs are caused by compression or displacement of the adjacent anatomical structures, therefore, most often patients complain of dysphagia, vomiting, pain in the chest, which may be constant or occur during an act of breathing. There are also observations of neurological symptoms due to compression of the radicular nerves The method of choice in the treatment of ECs is their surgical removal.
CONCLUSION: Patients with mediastinal tumors should be treated in specialized hospitals by experienced surgeons who can cope with an unexpected intraoperative finding and carry out the appropriate surgery.
