Lipomas of the esophagus: a new case.
We present a new case of esophageal lipoma. The rarity of this tumor and its submucosal origin can create problems for the correct diagnosis. Symptoms, when present, are of mechanical origin (obstruction) with dysphagia. Treatment is endoscopic or surgical removal.
