Abstract

Esophageal submucosal tumors are occasionally detected incidentally during a gastrointestinal survey. In the present study, a case of esophageal leiomyoma is reported, which was incidentally detected by chest radiography during an annual survey of mass‑screening for lung cancer. The patient underwent a laparoscopic lower esophagectomy, a proximal gastrectomy and a gastric tube reconstruction. Macroscopic examination revealed a 50x40x28‑mm mass, while microscopic examination identified submucosal smooth muscle tissue without mitotic activity or necrosis. The tumor was diagnosed as an esophageal leiomyoma. The patient was asymptomatic during the three‑month follow‑up period. However, when a mass lesion adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract is detected during chest radiography, the possibility of a rare disease should be considered. Therefore, further investigation with upper gastrointestinal radiography and gastroendoscopy should be performed.
