Abstract
Purpose: Reconstruction of the esophagus with sternohyoid muscle after enucleation of the cervical esophageal leiomyosarcoma (ELS) was rarely reported.
Methods: A case of 55-year-old female with a large leiomyosarcoma in the cervical esophagus was reported. The tumor was enucleated, and the defect of the esophagus was patched with left sternohyoid muscle flap.
Results: The patient recovered uneventfully after surgery. She has not had any discomfort with swallowing since surgery, and nowadays, there is not any recurrence and metastasis being detected.
Conclusion: It is minimal invasive and simple to enucleate the cervical ELS and patch the defect of esophagus with sternohyoid muscle flap. For some selected patients, this method may be a promising surgical procedure to achieve both good swallowing function and satisfying prognosis.
