Abstract

A 69-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of dysphagia. Upper G-I series with barium meal and esophageal endoscopy revealed the pedunculated tumor on the esophageal orifice. It was diagnosed to be a submucosal tumor. Endoscopic polypectomy was performed safely. The resected tumor was 28 × 25 × 15mm in size and it was diagnosed as f ibroma by histological examination. Fibroma of the esophagus is very rare and only 5 cases reported in Japan. This is the first case which was removed by endoscopic polypectomy in Japan. Endoscopic polypectomy is considered to be an effective and safe procedure for the elevated lesion of the esophagus.
