Abstract

Esophageal leiomyomas (EL) are the most common benign tumors of the esophagus, being pedunculated polyp presentation is very rare. A 65-year-old female presented with symptoms of troublesome dysphagia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) performed revealed a pedunculated polyp of ~ 3 × 1.7 × 1.5 cm in size covered by normal-looking mucosa. The polypoid lesion was then removed successfully with a hot polypectomy snare. The histopathological diagnosis of the polyp turned out to be leiomyoma. Patient symptoms were relieved after successful removal.
