# Case report: Simultaneous resections of pulmonary segment and an esophageal leiomyoma during spontaneous ventilation video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery

## TL;DR

A 40-year-old woman had two surgeries at once using a minimally invasive technique, successfully removing a lung tumor and an esophageal growth.

## Contribution

This case report demonstrates the feasibility of simultaneous segmentectomy and leiomyoma resection using SV-VATS.

## Key findings

- The patient underwent successful simultaneous resections of a pulmonary segment and an esophageal leiomyoma.
- Postoperative pathology confirmed minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and esophageal leiomyoma.
- The procedure was performed without complications during spontaneous ventilation.

## Abstract

Spontaneous ventilation video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SV-VATS) has rapidly developed in recent years. The application scope is still being continuously explored. We describe a case in which a 40-year-old woman with mixed ground-glass opacity (GGO) and an esophageal leiomyoma successfully underwent simultaneous segmentectomy and leiomyoma resection through spontaneous ventilation video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The perioperative course was uneventful. Postoperative pathology revealed minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and esophageal leiomyoma.
