  • Title: Leiomyoma of the esophagus associated with bronchial obstruction owing to inflammatory pseudotumor in a child.
    Author: Kirk VG, McFadden S, Pinto A, Boag G, Sigalet DL.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2000 May; 35(5):771-4. PubMed ID: 10813347.
    Abstract:
    Although relatively common in adults, leiomyoma of the esophagus is a rare disorder in children. A single case report describes the coexistence of both esophageal and bronchial leiomyoma in a child. The authors describe the diagnostic and treatment challenges encountered in a 2-year-old boy with coexisting inflammatory pseudotumor and esophageal leiomyoma presenting as massive atelectasis.
