Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are mesenchymal neoplasms with intermediate biological potential. They tend to affect the lungs and abdominopelvic area but rarely occur in the esophagus. Only a few cases of esophageal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors have been reported in the English literature. Herein, we report an esophageal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor masquerading as an esophageal cancer. A 39-year-old woman complained of progressive dysphagia, and esophagogastroscopy revealed a 5-cm tumor in the lower esophagus. Ivor-Lewis surgery was performed, and the tumor was diagnosed as an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor; the patient was successfully treated with surgery.
