Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Dysphagia is a common symptom requiring thorough investigation.
  • Esophageal strictures can arise from various benign and malignant conditions.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old male presented with dysphagia and a proximal esophageal stricture.
  • Biopsy confirmed sarcoma, necessitating subtotal esophagectomy.
  • Histopathology revealed an intramural mass with fibroblastic and inflammatory cells.

Findings:

  • The resected esophageal mass was well-defined and intramural.
  • The mass comprised a mix of fibroblastic cells and inflammatory infiltrates.
  • Distal reflux esophagitis was noted in the surgical specimen.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare esophageal sarcoma.
