Abstract
Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumors, and together with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), are the most common non-epithelial tumors originating from connective tissue in the deep layers of the esophagus. Histologically, both types of tumors differentiate based on immunohistochemical reactions. Very often, they are asymptomatic and are detected by chance using imaging methods and advanced endoscopy. The removal of the esophageal leiomyoma is performed through mini-invasive or open surgery. Herein, we present a patient diagnosed with esophageal leiomyoma located in the upper third of the esophagus by computered tomography and endoscopic ultrasound. Right-sided transthoracic extirpation of leiomyoma was performed.
