Although leiomyoma is the most common benign esophageal neoplasm, it is a rare condition. Resection of the tumor is recommended in symptomatic patients, and observation is recommended in asymptomatic patients with small lesions. We discussed here a patient admitted to our hospital for dyspepsia in whom a calcified mediastinal neoplasm was diagnosised preoperatively and esophageal leiomyoma was diagnosised postoperatively. Enucleation of a leiomyoma of the esophagus is recommended and the optimal approaches should be tailored based on the location and size of the tumor.
虽然平滑肌瘤是最常见的良性食管肿瘤，但它是一种罕见的疾病。对于有症状的患者，建议进行肿瘤切除；对于无症状且肿瘤较小的患者，建议进行观察。我们在此讨论了一名因消化不良而入院的患者，该患者术前诊断为纵隔钙化性肿瘤，术后诊断为食管平滑肌瘤。建议对食管平滑肌瘤进行剜除术，具体的手术方法应根据肿瘤的位置和大小进行定制。
