Abstract
|
|
|
|
Leiomyoma is the most common benign esophageal intramural tumor, occurring more often in the lower part of the esophagus. Recently thoracoscopic approach for this lesion is widely accepted, but laparoscopic approach is rarely reported. We report a case of leiomyoma of the lower esophagus which is treated successfully by laparoscopic approach. Forty-year- old woman who presented multiple GB stones by abdominal ultrasonography was admitted to our hospital for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The endoscopic finding showed protruding mass in the distal esophagus without mucosal abnormality. We conducted laparoscopic enucleation of leiomyoma and cholecystectomy simultaneously. The patient showed uneventful recovery and is followed up in out-patient clinic.
