• We report a rare case of esophageal schwannoma. The patient was a 41-year-old man who was admittedto our hospital due to chest oppression. Chest imaging showed a solid mass in the middle mediastinum compressingthe esophagus and the trachea. Neurogenic tumor was suspected and the patient underwent extirpation of thetumor through right thoracotomy. The tumor, 4.5×4.3×3.4 cm in size, was strongly attached to the esophageal wall.Pathological examination revealed myxomatous pattern in the tumor. Immunohistochemical staining for S-100 proteinwas positive and the diagnosis of schwannoma was made. The majority of mediastinal schwannomas arise fromsympathetic nerve cells in the posterior mediastinum. Esophageal schwannoma is rare and only 27 cases were reportedin literature to date.
