Collapse
In addition, Palanivelu et al. [ 9 ] reported a low incidence of respiratory complications, a shortened operative time, and a low incidence of postoperative pneumonia because complete right-lung collapse in order to keep a good surgical view is not necessary [karger.com]
Postoperative control swallow The results of the histopathological study confirmed the existence of a 5 4 cm multilobular leiomyoma which did not infiltrate the mucosa inside a mechanical esophageal diverticulum of 6 4 cm with partially collapsed lumen [oatext.com]

Clubbed Finger
Abstract The authors report the case study of a 13-year-old girl, suffering from epigastric pain related to an important infectious syndrome and from marked hypertrophic pneumosteopathy (clubbed fingers, diffuse cortical hyperostosis). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Dysphagia
METHODS: Between January 1999 and August 2005, 11 patients (6 men and 5 women; median age, 44 years) underwent surgery after presenting with dysphagia, chest pain, or heartburn. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We evaluate a case of a 71 year-old male with dysphagia found to have a large complex esophageal leiomyoma that underwent successful surgical resection using a minimally invasive robotic technique. [sages.org]

Epigastric Tenderness
Their most common symptoms included dysphagia and nonspecific chest and retrosternal pain along with rare instances of regurgitation, epigastric tenderness, dyspnea, and weight loss. The average tumor size in our cases was 5 cm. [tgkdc.dergisi.org]

Flushing
Japan), and ERBE VIO Model 300D electrosurgical equipment (Tübingen, Germany) used in the coagulation spray mode (2 to 50 W endocut effect) for the incision and tunnel creation; the tumor was resected with a 3 to 40 W endocut effect, using a BT 2.0 flush [revistagastroenterologiamexico.org]
Neurologic

Neuralgia
Paradoxically, incision pain after surgery (thoracic neuralgia) was found to be higher in the minimally invasive approach group. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical case We present the case of a 58-year-old man, without toxic habits and a medical history of malaria, trigeminal neuralgia, total thyroidectomy, and parathyroid resection for papillary cancer, hypothyroidism, and postoperative hypoparathyroidism [oatext.com]

Dysphasia
Symptoms especially dysphasia were relieved postoperatively. Short- and long-term follow-up was satisfactory with none of the patients having tumor recurrences or other problems. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Trigeminal Neuralgia
Clinical case We present the case of a 58-year-old man, without toxic habits and a medical history of malaria, trigeminal neuralgia, total thyroidectomy, and parathyroid resection for papillary cancer, hypothyroidism, and postoperative hypoparathyroidism [oatext.com]
Workup
Because malignant transformation in leiomyomas is rare, some authors recommend regular follow-up with barium swallow and endoscopy for asymptomatic patients with lesions smaller than 5 cm and when the preoperative workup has excluded malignancy ( 7, 13 [jtd.amegroups.com]
Preoperative workup includes upper GI endoscopy which shows an exophytic growth with intact mucosa, often looking like diverticulum due to cavity in the center of tumor which was classically observed in our first case. [casereports.in]
X-Ray
-
Posterior Mediastinal Mass
Radiological examination (chest x-ray and computed tomography scan) showed a partly calcified right posterior mediastinal mass. The esophagoscopy showed a fistular emanation from the esophagus to the tumor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Esophageal leiomyomas should be kept in mind in patients with posterior mediastinal masses with dyspeptic complaints that do not respond to medical treatment. No References No Citations No Supplementary Data No Article Media No Metrics [ingentaconnect.com]
Esophageal leiomyomas can be seen as a posterior mediastinal mass on chest radiographs, but the radiological findings can be viewed as coincidental. [tgkdc.dergisi.org]
Especially when large, they may be recognized as posterior mediastinal masses with a mass effect on an adjacent organ ( 3, 4 ). [synapse.koreamed.org]
Treatment
Although enucleation via thoracotomy has been considered standard treatment, minimally invasive surgery is increasingly used for the treatment of this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The main outcomes included the demographic and morphological characteristics, symptoms, comparisons of diagnosis and treatment methods, adverse events, and prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The overall prognosis of these benign tumors is excellent. [radiopaedia.org]

Etiology
Etiology Diffuse leiomyomatosis with Alport syndrome is due to a deletion involving the 5' terminal region of both COL4A5 and COL4A6 (as such, it forms a contiguous gene syndrome). [orpha.net]
Acute esophageal syndromes In the table on the left are etiologies of an acute esophageal syndrome. Boerhaave syndrome Boerhaave syndrome is rupture of the esophageal wall. [radiologyassistant.nl]
The etiology may be an exaggeratedproliferative response to infection, trauma, peptic ulcer, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or steroid use[ 59 ]. IMFT are most common in the lung, but can arise in any organ. [tropicalgastro.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiological data, presenting symptoms, diagnostic investigations, tumor location, histopathological findings, and safety and efficacy of surgical resection were analyzed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology Frequency International Esophageal leiomyomas comprise less than 0.6% of all esophageal neoplasms, both in the United States and worldwide. [drminkim.com]
Among the 22 patients (78.6%) for whom follow-up information was available, no leiomyoma-related adverse events were found. [1] Epidemiology United States and international data Esophageal leiomyomas comprise less than 0.6% of all esophageal neoplasms [emedicine.medscape.com]
Summary Epidemiology Prevalence is estimated at 1 per million. Clinical description Alport syndrome (AS) is defined by glomerular nephropathy with hematuria, progressing to end-stage renal disease, associated with sensorineural deafness. [orpha.net]
Pathophysiology
Unlike others on this topic, this text demonstrates how the endoscope incorporates pathophysiology, diagnostic, and treatment modalities into endoscopic practice. [books.google.de]
Thus, leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors of the esophagus. [1] Pathophysiology Leiomyomas represent a hyperproliferation of interlacing bundles of smooth muscle cells that are well-demarcated by adjacent tissue or by a smooth connective tissue [drminkim.com]
Prevention
The use of the balloon dilator facilitates separation of the tumor from both the mucosal and muscular layers of the esophagus, and may help to prevent perforation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
