    Abstract:
    A 44-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of the left cervical tumor. Radiologic examination showed that the tumor was 5 cm in diameter and was inhomogeneous. The tumor was spread to the upper mediastinum. Esophagoscopy showed that the tumor was covered by the normal mucosa. Percutaneous fine needle biopsy did not appear the histopathological diagnosis. The patient underwent surgical resection through the cervical approach and the tumor was located between the mucosal and muscular layers of the esophagus. The tumor was enucleated without any complication. Histopathological diagnosis was leiomyoma. Postoperative course was uneventful. Expecting diagnosis and positive complete resection is recommended for leiomyoma of the esophagus.
