Thoracoscopic Resection of an Esophageal Schwannoma Demonstrating a Malignant Pattern on Dual-Time-Point FDG-PET: A Case Report
This case highlights that even when dual-time-point FDG-PET suggests malignancy, thoracoscopic resection may be a viable treatment option for esophageal schwannoma if a benign diagnosis is supported by preoperative EUS-FNA. This underscores the importance of integrating metabolic imaging with histopathological assessment in surgical planning.
