    Author: Karagülle E, Akkaya D, Türk E, Göktürk HS, Yildirim E, Moray G.
    Journal: Turk J Gastroenterol; 2008 Sep; 19(3):180-3. PubMed ID: 19115154.
    Abstract:
    Although leiomyoma is the most common esophageal mesenchymal neoplasm, it is a rare condition. Resection of the tumor is recommended in symptomatic patients, and observation is recommended in asymptomatic patients with small lesions. We discuss herein a patient admitted to our outpatient clinic for dyspepsia in whom a giant annular esophageal leiomyoma was diagnosed. Resection through thoracoabdominal approach is recommended instead of adjuvant treatment in similar sized tumors.
