Aggressive fibromatosis derived from the upper thoracic esophagus：a case report and literature review
Abstract：Objective To improve the clinical understanding of aggressive fibromatosis derived from esopha-gus.Methods A woman with aggressive fibromatosis of the upper thoracic esophagus was treated in our hospital.We reported the clinical pathological data of this patient and analyzed the clinical data of 4 cases with aggressive fibroma-tosis derived from esophagus which were reported by domestic and foreign literatures.Results The main symptom of aggressive fibromatosis was dysphagia which was easily misdiagnosed as benign tumors of the esophagus, and a defi-nite diagnosis must depend on pathological examination.It was difficult to completely resect the wide range of lesion of esophageal aggressive fibromatosis, but endoscopic esophageal dilatation could alleviate the symptom of dysphagia. Conclusion Aggressive fibromatosis derived from esophagus is rare in clinics, and its growth is slow.The biological behavior of the neoplasm belongs to borderline.It is difficult to resect the lesion located in the upper thoracic esopha-gus, and regular endoscopic esophageal dilatation is helpful to improve the quality of life for the patients.
