Abstract
A 44-year-old woman presented with symptoms of intermittent epigastric pain and chest discomfort which she had suffered for more than 5 years. She had noticed progressive discomfort on swallowing in the past 1 month. The episodic attacks were not related to meals, respiration, or exercise. She underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at her local hospital and this revealed a suspicious-looking region of external compression over the lower esophagus. Chest computed tomography showed a 3.4-cm mediastinal tumor that was adhering to the lower esophagus. She was then referred to our hospital for further evaluation.
