Abstract
Though leiomyoma is the most common tumor of esophagus, it accounts for only 1% of all esophageal tumors. Most of the leiomyomas are intramural type originating from the muscularis propria and only l% of them is intraluminal pedunculated type originating from muscularis mucosae. Recently, a 30-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of dysphagia. Radiologic examination showed that intraluminal tumor 5cm in diameter was found at the cervical esophagus. Endoscopic examination showed that the tumor was covered with normal mucosa. The patient underwent surgical excision through the left cervical approach. After full, longitudinal esophagotomy, the intraluminal pedunculated tumor was successfully enucleated. Esophageal leiomyoma was confirmed histopathologically. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was relieved from dysphagia.
