Treatment of Esophageal Stenosis by Idiopathic Mediastinal Fibrosis: A case Report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Mediastinal fibrosis is uncommon but may result in entrapment and erosion of vital mediastinal structures by fibrous tissues. Idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis involved esophagus is very rare, and only a few cases have ever been reported. Such idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis involved esophagus is an enigmatic inflammatory fibrous tissue proliferation, but the treatment has not yet been clearly defined. We had successfully treated in such a case with partial esophagolysis and esophagomyotomy.
