Figure 1 Preoperative computed tomographic image. A large neoplastic lesion (40 × 45 mm in diameter) was observed in the left atrium. The esophagus was mechanically compressed and displaced by the tumor.

Figure 2 A, Preoperative contrast esophagographic image. Contrast esophagography showed a compression on the front wall of the esophagus, caused by the extramural tumor. B, Postoperative contrast esophagographic image. The mechanical compression of the extramural esophagus disappeared after surgery.
