    Abstract:
    A 20 year-old female was admitted to our department because of an abnormal shadow in chest roentgenogram on a physical check-up. The barium swallowing study revealed an oppression of the middle of the esophagus. Endoscopy, chest CT and MRI failed to distinguish submucosal tumor from mediastinal tumor. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed the mass originated from the esophagus and a diagnosis of esophageal smooth muscle tumor was obtained. The tumor was tried to resect by thoracoscopic surgery but was failed because of its shape like a tortoise shell. The tumor was resected through the right thoracotomy and the diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically.
