ABSTRACT

Authors treated a oesophageal sarcoma in a 46 year old female patient in July 1999. The tumor caused retrosternal pain and weight loss but did not disturb swallowing. After resecting the tumor, an intrathoracic oesophago-gastrostomy was performed. On the 18th postoperative day the patient went home without any complaints. Histologically the tumor proved to be a leiomyosarcoma. The patient has had no complaints in the past 6 years. On account of this case report the authors review the literature on this rare disease.
