ABSTRACT
A 28 year old male presented with complaints of retrosternal pain, discomfort and dysphagia of 4 years duration. Barium swallow and oesophagoscopy were suggestive of extrinsic compression of thoracic oesophagus. CT scan of chest was suggestive of a large mediastinal lymph node mass. Thoracotomy and open biopsy showed a benign mesenchymal tumor on frozen section. A transthoracic oesophagectomy with gastric pull up and cervical oesophago-gastric anastomosis was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient discharged on the tenth postoperative day.
