  • Title: Solitary esophageal leiomyoma with eosinophilic infiltrate: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Linde EM, DiMaio DJ.
    Journal: Dis Esophagus; 2011 Jan; 24(1):E5-7. PubMed ID: 21073621.
    Abstract:
    Leiomyomas are common benign tumors of the esophagus representing 10% of all mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Prominent numbers of eosinophils involving a leiomyoma have only rarely been described. They have never been described involving a solitary leiomyoma of the esophagus. We present an unusual case of a solitary esophageal leiomyoma with a prominent number of eosinophils and mast cells, review the previous literature regarding this topic and discuss possible causes of the eosinophil infiltrate.
