Abstract
A patient, 62 year old male, visited the university hospital with complaint of right hypochondralgia. Physical and labolatory examination disclosed that his abdominal pain was due to acute cholecystitis with gall bladder stone. Besides this, UGI series showed aoval filling defect, 4×3 cm in size, just above the esophago-gastric junction (Figure 1). Endoscocally the tumor located 3 cm above the E-G junction and its surface was smooth except small erosive change at the top (Figure 2&3 in colour). The tumor was endos-copically polypectomized successfuly. The size of the tumor was 4×3×2 cm and histological diagnosis was lipoma of the esophagus (Figure 4&5). This is the first lipoma case of the esophagus to which endoscopic polypectomy was performed and the size is the largest among the cases of esophageal tumor polypectomized endoscopically.
