Abstract
Introduction

Oesophageal leiomyoma is a rare tumour. The purpose of this paper is to describe the form of presentation, the approaches and the surgical technique, in 5 consecutive cases.

Material and method

A retrospective analysis was performed on the data recorded prospectively on 5 consecutive patients operated on between 2003 and 2007.

Results

All the patients were seen due to dysphagia to solids. All were examined with contrast radiology, video-endoscopy, and computed tomography, although 4 of them also had ultrasound endoscopy performed. The surgical technique was extra-mucosal enucleation, with 3 cases by thoracoscopy and 2 by thoracotomy. There were no complications. The immunohistochemistry study was negative for CD117 and CD34 in all cases.

Conclusions

Enucleation of oesophageal leiomyomas by video-thoracoscopy is safe, well tolerated, and there is a rapid recovery, and is the procedure of choice for this benign tumour. Thoracotomy may be necessary in some presentations and locations.

Resumen
Introducción

El leiomioma de esófago es un tumor poco frecuente. El objetivo de esta comunicación es describir la forma de presentación, las vías de abordaje y la técnica quirúrgica en 5 casos consecutivos.

Material y método

Se analizaron retrospectivamente los datos registrados prospectivamente de 5 pacientes consecutivos operados entre 2003 y 2007.

Resultados

Todos los pacientes consultaron por disfagia a sólidos. Todos fueron estudiados con radiología contrastada, videoendoscopia y tomografía computarizada, si bien en 4 de ellos también se realizó ecoendoscopia. La técnica quirúrgica fue la enucleación extramucosa: 3 casos por toracoscopia y 2 por toracotomía. No se observaron complicaciones. El estudio inmunohistoquímico fue negativo para CD117 y CD34 en todos los casos.

Conclusiones

La enucleación de los leiomiomas de esófago por videotoracoscopia es segura y bien tolerada, permite una rápida recuperación y es el procedimiento de elección para este tumor benigno. La toracotomía puede ser necesaria en algunas presentaciones y localizaciones.
