Abstract
We report a patient with unexpected intraoperative diagnosis of a big leiomyoma of the distal esophagus found during laparoscopic repair of a typ III hiatal hernia complicated by Cameron ulcer and chronic anaemia. Laparoscopic transhiatal enucleation of the tumour was performed with closure of the myotomy, Nissen fundoplication, and crural repair. Briefly, the literature of leiomyoma of the esophagus is reviewed with special regard to different therapeutic strategies.
