چکیده
Leiomyomas are rare benign esophageal neoplasms with an indolent clinical course. Symptoms mimic that of esophageal cancer. Esophagoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography are the main diagnostic methods. Symptomatic and large leiomyomas should be treated surgically while small, asymptomatic lesions may be managed by regular follow up and repeated endoscopies.
