Leiomyomas are rare benign esophageal neoplasms with an indolent clinical course. Symptoms mimic that of esophageal cancer. Esophagoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography are the main diagnostic methods. Symptomatic and large leiomyomas should be treated surgically while small, asymptomatic lesions may be managed by regular follow up and repeated endoscopies.
平滑肌瘤是罕见的食管良性肿瘤,临床病程进展缓慢。症状与食管癌相似。食管镜检查和内镜超声检查是主要的诊断方法。有症状的大平滑肌瘤应手术治疗,而小的无症状病变可通过定期随访和重复内镜检查进行处理。
