[Benign tumors of the esophagus. Esophageal leiomyoma].
Benign neoplasms of the esophagus are rare. The most frequent symptom (75% of the cases) is dysphagia, and a very rare one is dyspnea. When a benign tumor of the esophagus is suspected, a radiological examination is made and the diagnosis confirmed by fibro-esophagoscopy and biopsy. The authors make a summarized review of the benign tumors of the esophagus, and describe a case of esophageal leiomyoma.
