  • Title: [Leiomyoma and leiomyomatosis of the esophagus. Apropos of 2 cases].
    Author: Naouri A, Naouri C, Tissot E.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1986 Jan; 123(1):31-4. PubMed ID: 3958070.
    Abstract:
    The authors present two cases of leiomyoma of the oesophagus treated by enucleation. They review the literature on this subject and distinguish single leiomyomas (97%) from multiple leiomyomas (2.4%). The early diagnosis is based on endoscopy and oesophagogastric barium studies. Biopsies are controversial. Surgical treatment remains the general rule, but the anatomical extension may be slow so that surgical abstention with regular follow-up is justified in asymptomatic patients.
