Clin Imaging. 2002 Sep-Oct;26(5):293-5. doi: 10.1016/s0899-7071(01)00380-1.

Abstract

Leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors of the esophagus. However, esophageal leiomyomatosis is a rare pathologic entity that has received little attention in the radiologic literature. We present a case of esophageal leiomyomatosis with imaging features on barium swallow and computed tomography (CT).
