title: Schwannoma of the esophagus: computed tomography and endosonographic findings of a special type of schwannoma.
abstract: Schwannomas of the digestive tract are uncommon benign tumors seldom located in the esophagus. We present a case of intramural esophageal schwannoma with histopathological correlation evaluated by computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasonography. The imaging findings are described and other relevant features of schwannomas of the esophagus are discussed.
