Imaging of diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis: two case reports and review of the literature.
Diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis is a rare disorder which may be found in association with leiomyomas in other locations or with other disorders. We report two cases in men, one with associated tracheobronchial involvement, which illustrate the value of imaging in differentiating this entity from other causes of dysphagia and in establishing a diagnosis.
