Abstract
Esophageal leiomyoma is the most common benign esophageal neoplasm and often presents as an incidental finding or with nonspecific symptoms such as dysphagia or chest pain. Surgical enucleation is the mainstay of treatment and may be accomplished using both open and thoracoscopic approaches. We present a case of a 57-year-old man who presented with a massive circumferential calcified leiomyoma.
