  • Title: Plexiform leiomyoma of the esophagus: a complex radiographic, pathologic and endoscopic diagnosis.
    Author: Jaroszewski DE, Lam-Himlin D, Gruden J, Lidner TK, Etxebarria AA, De Petris G.
    Journal: Ann Diagn Pathol; 2011 Oct; 15(5):342-6. PubMed ID: 21723760.
    Abstract:
    Radiographic identification of an abnormal lesion in the esophagus routinely occurs during workup of patients with symptomatic dysphagia. Leiomyoma is the most common benign finding; however, plexiform leiomyoma, a distinctive but rare variant, follows an unusual pattern of growth which can be a challenging surgical resection. A review of indexed literature identified a single previous report. We contribute a second case of plexiform leiomyoma with a discussion of the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic characteristics, as well as the differential diagnosis for plexiform lesions.
