  • Title: Esophageal hemangioma: endoscopic diagnosis and treatment.
    Author: Cantero D, Yoshida T, Ito T, Suzumi M, Tada M, Okita K.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1994 Feb; 26(2):250-3. PubMed ID: 8026376.
    Abstract:
    We report on a 72-year-old man complaining of spontaneous retrosternal chest pain in whom an esophagogram showed a filling defect in the upper esophagus. On endoscopy, a polypoid lesion with a bluish-white surface was seen, the biopsy indicating the presence of a hemangioma. Endoscopic ultrasonography demonstrated the superficial origin of the lesion and the presence of vascular structures. Endoscopic resection was performed using a combination of hemostatic clipping and snare polypectomy, with excellent results. Follow-up for ten months did not reveal any recurrence.
