Résumé
Les tumeurs stromales digestives sont les tumeurs conjonctives les plus fréquentes du tube digestif. Nous rapportons ici un cas de tumeur stromale de l’œsophage, localisation très rare de ces tumeurs. Leur Symptomatologie n’est pas spécifique. Leur diagnostic histologique a été amélioré par la mise en évidence de l’expression du gène c-Kit. Cependant, leur pronostic n’est pas facile à évaluer. Le traitement de ces tumeurs est chirurgical. Un nouveau traitement non chimiothérapique, le STI 571, pourrait être prometteur dans la prise en charge de ces tumeurs.
Nous rapportons un cas de tumeur stromale œsophagienne, cette observation est particulière par la rareté de cette localisation.
Summary
The digestive stromal tumour are the most frequent conjunctive tumours of the digestive tract. We report a case of stromal tumour of the oesophagus, which is a very rare localisation of these tumours. Their histological diagnosis was improved by the description of the form of the gene c-kit. However, their prognosis is not easy to evaluate. The basic treatment of these tumours is surgical.
A new non chemotherapeutic treatment, the STI 571, seems to be promising in the assumption of responsibility of these tumours. We report a case of oesophageal stromal tumor. This localisation remains rare.
