case_images: (A, B) Preoperative esophageal barium meal examination revealed the presence of an esophageal occupied-lesion. (C, D) Endoscopy also indicates the presence of a submucosal esophageal occupied-lesion. Chronic non-atrophic gastritis was also found.

case_images: One week prior, an esophageal lesion was found during barium meal examination ( Figures 1A, B ), and endoscopy was performed 3 days later ( Figures 1C, D ).
case_images: (A, B) Enhanced computed tomography (CT) indicates a mixed ground glass opacity. Blood vessels can be seen passing through the lesion, and the enhanced scan shows that the solid components of the lesion are few, and the degree of enhancement is unclear.

case_images: The enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan after admission showed a mixed ground glass opacity the posterior segment (S2) of the right upper lobe, with a maximum cross-section of approximately 1.3 x 1.1 cm ( Figures 2A, B ).
case_images: (A, B) The patient's positioning on the operating room bed with all the chest accesses.
