A rare case of solitary neurofibroma located in the esophagus is reported. A large (4.2 X 4.0 X 3.0 cm) submucosal tumor was surgically removed from the midportion of the esophagus of a 64-year-old woman. Light and electron microscopic examination, and immunohistochemistry of S-100 protein in the tumor tissue confirmed neurofibroma. The patient had no evidence of von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. A review of literature failed to find other reports of solitary neurofibroma of the esophagus with reliable histological diagnosis.
