Removal of benign neurinoma of the cervical esophagus on the background of Recklinghausen’s disease

A neuroma (schwannoma) is a tumor of the peripheral nervous system that originates from Schwann cells of the neural membrane. Esophageal neurinoma is a very rare submucosal tumor. Since the clinical symptoms of esophageal neurinoma are non-specific, its preoperative diagnosis remains a rather difficult task, and treatment issues are not sufficiently described. This article presents a clinical case of removal of cervical esophageal neurinoma against the background of Recklinghausen’s disease, and review of the literature on this issue is also presented.
