Total esophageal replacement by transmediastinal transposition of the stomach in a gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the thoracic esophagus: a rare surgical case report.
Conclusion: This case illustrates the clinical presentation of an esophageal GIST which represents only 1% of all sites where GISTs have been reported; open surgery was successfully performed with minimal morbidity, complete resolution of symptoms and improvement of the patient's quality of life. Esophagectomy with replacement by transmediastinal transposition of the stomach should be performed when the center has experience to do so with minimal morbidity and mortality.
