  • Title: Benign tumors of oesophagus: value of endoscopy.
    Author: Faivre J, Bory R, Moulinier B.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1978 Nov; 10(4):264-8. PubMed ID: 216542.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic examination carried out in 20,000 patients allowed 7 benign tumors of the oesophagus to be detected. Four of them were intramural tumors corresponding to leiomyomas. Guided biopsies are not sufficient to assure an accurate diagnosis, but a mucosal lesion, particularly a carcinoma, should be ruled out. Endoscopic resection of the 3 intraluminal tumours was performed without incidents, allowing an accurate histologic diagnosis and a reasonable therapeutic approach. Endoscopic supervision is necessary in case of epithelial tumors.
