The results of surgical treatment of distal esophageal leiomyomatosis performed distal esophagectomy
Abstract
SUMMARY
Objective: Leiomyomas are the most common benign esophageal neoplasms. Surgical treatment is the therapy of choice for such tumors. In this study, we submitted results of 6 patients with distal esophageal leiomyomas who underwent surgical treatment during a 5-year period. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with leiomyoma located at distal esophagus who had undergone distal esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy.
Method: Demographic features, clinical and laboratory findings including symptoms, diagnosis, histopathology, and results of surgical treatment were examined.
Results: 6 patients (four women, two men; mean age 48.8y) were operated due to leiomyoma located at the lower esophagus. The most common symptoms were dysphagia and dyspepsia. Distal esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy was performed to all patients with a median laparathomy and a right posterolateral thoracotomy. All patients were relieved from their symptoms without postoperative mortality, while pneumonia was occured in one patient which is treated medically.
Conclusions: Esophageal leiomyoma is a benign tumor which becomes symptomatic in large seizes. Surgical resection is considered to be effective for distal esophageal leiomyomas, without complications.

ÖZET
Amaç: Leiomyomalar en sık görülen benign özofageal neoplazilerdir. Cerrahi tedavi bu tümörlerde seçilen tedavi şeklidir. Bu çalışmada, 5 yıllık bir sürede distal özofageal leiomyoma nedeniyle cerrahi uygulanmış 6 hastanın tedavi sonuçlarını sunduk. Çalışmadaki amacımız distal özofagus yerleşimli leiomyoması olup distal özofajektomi ve özofagogastrostomi uygulanmış 6 hastanın uzun dönem sonuçlarını değerlendirmekti.
Yöntem: Demografik özellikler, semptomlar, tanı, histopatolojiyi içerecek şekilde klinik ve laboratuar bulgular ve cerrahi tedavi sonuçları incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Distal özofagus yerleşimli leiomyoma nedeniyle 6 hasta( 4 kadın, 2 erkek; ortalama yaş 48.8 yıl) opere edilmiştir. Disfaji ve dispepsi en sık görülen semptomlardı. Tüm hastalara median laparotomi ve sağ posterolateral torakotomi ile distal özofajektomi ve özofagogastrostomi uygulanmıştır. Hiçbir hastada mortalite gelişmemiş olup tüm hastaların semptomlarında iyileşme olmuştur; bir hastada pnömoni gelişmiş olup medikal olarak tedavi edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Özofageal leiomyoma benign bir tümör olup büyük boyutlara ulaşınca semptomatik hale gelir. Distal özofageal leiomyomalarda cerrahi rezeksiyon etkili bir yöntemdir.
