[A rare case of esophageal pathology: leiomyosarcoma (author's transl)].
The AA. report a clinical case of rare oesophageal pathology: the leioomyosarcoma sole case on 200 oesophageal neoplasms that they have observed. The clinical likeness with oesophageal carcinoma and the complete superimposition of reports that have been obtained in this case with instrumental examinations respect to the oesophageal carcinoma, didn't permit to do the diagnosis of histotype, while this diagnosis could be done only after the preparation of an histopathologic preparation. The patient who was operated on for superior polar esophago-gastrectomy, after 18 months is in good general conditions. THe AA. draw their conclusions after a short discussion. We must show in these paragraphs the particular macroscopic form of neoplasm that they have observed and the great difficulty of a diagnosis of leimyosarcoma without an histopathologic preparation. Agreeing with the most part of other Authors, they point out that the best therapy for these forms is surgical therapy.
