title: [Benign esophageal tumors].
abstract: The authors present seven cases of benign oesophageal tumours treated in hospital in the years 1972-1990. Among the treated patients were six men and one woman, aged from 30 to 70 years. In four patients the tumour was situated in the middle part of the thoracic segment, and in three cases in the lower part of the supradiaphragmatic segment of the oesophagus. The diagnosis od benign oesophageal tumour was made on the basis of X-ray examination, oesophagoscopy, and histopathological examination. Five patients were treated surgically. In two patients the access to the tumour was from the right pleural cavity, and in three other cases--from the abdominal cavity. The result of histopathological examination of the removed tumours was as follows: in two patients--benign polyps, in one patient--mature teratoma, in one female patient--myxofibroma, and in one case--fibromyoma. In all patients operated on complete cure was achieved.
