Esophageal Leiomyosarcoma: Insights from Three Cases and Literature Review

Author(s): Shaheen Haidrus, Mahesh Kumar Mittal.

Esophageal leiomyosarcoma, constituting a mere 0.5% of esophageal sarcomas, stands out as an exceedingly rare form of esophageal tumor[1]. This paper delves into distinct instances of esophageal leiomyosarcoma in three patients, each presenting with unique clinical challenges. The spectrum of presentation, underpinned by radiological assessment, confirmed through histopathological evaluation highlights the imperative of an interdisciplinary approach in identifying and treating this rare condition. The ensuing discussion sheds light on diagnostic nuances, therapeutic strategies, and the indispensable value of radiological imaging in evaluating patients of leiomyosarcoma with rare metastatic involvement to the brain. This contribution aims to augment the existing compendium of knowledge on esophageal leiomyosarcoma, advocating for heightened clinical vigilance and a nuanced understanding of its management.
