The authors report the case of a 44 year old man with a giant leiomyoma of the lower third of the esophagus. The patient presented with chest pain and the tumour was detected by echocardiography. The diagnosis was confirmed by computerised tomography and histological examination of the surgical specimen weighing 501.5 g. The surgeon performed a large esophago-gastric resection and reestablished the continuity of the digestive track by interposing a section of colon. A good result was obtained with a follow-up of 4 years. The authors underline the potential value of a simple barium swallow during cardiological assessment.
