Abstract
Despite development of novel chemotherapy for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), complete resection remains the gold standard treatment. Because of the small number of reported esophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumors, the optimal extent of resection is not well defined. We present a case of an 82-year-old man with an 11-cm esophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumor who was successfully treated with enucleation.Entities:
