Abstract:
Objective:To summarize the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment experience of esophageal hamartoma in children.Methods:From December 2013 to December 2019, 3 cases of esophageal hamartoma were admitted to our hospital, and a retrospective analysis was conducted.Results:There were 1 male and 2 females, with an average age of 6.4 years old. The clinical manifestations were vomiting in 2 cases and dysphagia with esophageal foreign body sensation in 1 case. Esophagography, chest contrast-enhanced CT, and esophagoscopy showed esophageal stenosis or esophageal mass effectg, and esophageal dilatation above the affected segment. The tumor was found in upper esophagus in 1 case and lower esophagus in 2 cases. Tumors were complete resection in all 3 cases and the patients were discharged smoothly. All the 3 cases were followed up after surgery for 10-74 months(average 37 months), and 1 case had gastroesophageal reflux. No stenosis or recurrence was found in all the cases, and all the patients could eat normal diet.Conclusion:The main manifestations of esophageal hamartoma in children are vomiting and choking. Complete surgical resection is the main treatment method, and the prognosis is good.
