leiomyoma,oesophagus,benign tumor of oesophagus

Benign tumours of the oesophagus are rare lesions that constitute less than 1% of oesophageal neoplasms. Nearly 2/3rds of benign oesophageal tumours are Leiomyomas , the others are mostly polyps and cysts. Leiomyomas are the commonest benign mesenchymaltumors of the oesophagus. The significance of knowing about Leiomyomas is due to the fact that it can mimic oesophageal cancer and lead to diagnostic confusion..Not many cases have been reported in literature. To the best of our knowledge, less than 100 cases have been reported in world literature and ours is the 12th case report from India. Hence, we are reporting it for its rarity.
