Adult rhabdomyoma of the esophagus.
Rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor of striated muscle origin. Two distinct histologic groups, adult and fetal type, are recognized. So far only 66 cases of extracardiac rhabdomyomas (37 fetal and 29 adult) have been documented in the literature reviewed. The present report details a case of adult rhabdomyoma of the esophagus in an 8-year-old boy.
