- Abstract:
- This case of an esophageal liposarcoma illustrates a polypoid lesion within the esophagus that extended from the left pyriform sinus to the distal esophagus above the gastric cardia. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an inhomogenously-enhancing intraluminal mass, while video-fluoroscopy revealed that the mass was adherent to the esophageal wall and was associated with esophageal dilatation and diminished peristalsis. This ninth reported case of esophageal liposarcoma is the first described where preoperative radiologic studies and endoscopy showed broad fixation of the tumor to the esophageal wall.
