Abstract

We reviewed 14 cases of esophageal leiomyoma treated by endoscopic lumpectomy asto their clinicopathological features. The results were as follows: 1) Esophageal leiomyomas were frequently found on the anterior wall of the upperand middle intrathracic esophagus. Endoscopically, they were characterized as white, ovalshaped submucosal tumors, the overlying mucosa of which did not show iodine stain. 2) EUS enabled us to diagnose the location of the tumor in the esophageal wall andto determine th indications for endoscopic lumpectomy. 3) Endoscopic aspiration lunpectomy was safe and sufficient materials for histological evaluationwere obtained. 4) As dysplastic changes are sometimes observed on the surface epithelium coveringesophageal leiomyomas. It is desirable to remove them irrespective of the size.
