摘要

Background

Esophageal foregut cysts are rare among esophageal tumors. They can be difficult to distinguish from solid tumors and to assess as benign or malignant. Therefore, surgical resection should be considered whenever feasible. However, there are few reports on hybrid thoracoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery for foregut cysts.

Case presentation

A 45-year-old woman underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during a health examination, and a submucosal tumor was detected. Preoperative evaluation at our hospital identified the tumor as a foregut cyst. We performed a hybrid surgery, and the patient was discharged without complications on postoperative day 4.

Conclusion

We report a case of a foregut cyst treated with minimally invasive surgery. Hybrid minimally invasive surgery offers the advantage of achieving resection with reduced chest trauma, preserving the esophageal lumen, and allowing for earlier discharge.
