We performed total excision in 9 patients and subtotal excision in 3 patients. In additions, patch graft was required in 2 patients. in the former case with neurilemmoma, esophageal mucosal defect was occurred following resection of the tumor. Consequently, v.azigos was resected and patched to the defect as the patch graft. In the latter case with teratoma pericardial defect was occurred and required patch graft.
