Abstract
- Hemangiomas in the esophagus comprise less than 3% of all benign esophageal neoplasms. They are frequently small and easily treated with resection via either endoscopy or thoracotomy. We report a cavernous hemangioma occurred in the distal esophagus successfully treated with circumferential myomectomy.
