  • Title: Arteriovenous malformation of the esophagus disguised as a leiomyoma.
    Author: Konstantakos AK, Douglas WI, Abdul-Karim FW, Lee JH, Geha AS.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1995 Dec; 60(6):1798-800. PubMed ID: 8787487.
    Abstract:
    Hemangiomas, benign tumors of vascular origin, compromise less than 3% of all nonmalignant esophageal neoplasms. Because of their infrequent occurrence, such vascular tumors may be mistaken for more common benign tumors of the esophagus. We report the successful surgical management of an esophageal arteriovenous malformation presenting with clinical, radiographic, and endoscopic features resembling those of a leiomyoma.
