However, among them, leiomyomas are common. Tumors larger than 5 cm are rare and may present as dysphagia or epigastric pain. Combined esophagoscopy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or laparoscopic trans hiatal resection are used the management of leiomyoma of esophagus.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case report illustrates the case of a young male who presented with dysphagia and occasional dyspnea.

The preferred surgical technique for leiomyomas is transthoracic enucleation without opening the mucosa, which is easier, faster, and safer compared to resection. In our patient, due to the size and location of the tumor, it was resected using an abdominal approach, and a distal esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A multi-modal approach involving both the endoscopic and radiologic examinations is crucial in ensuring that the morbidity of malignancy is avoided.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.09.142","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,23]],"date-time":"2020-09-23T12:32:57Z","timestamp":1600864377000},"page":"285-287","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Leiomyoma of esophagus\u2014A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Gowtham","family":"Thakut","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheetal A.","family":"Murchite","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rajendra M.","family":"Kulkarni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vaishali V.","family":"Gaikwad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-67-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1105","DOI":"10.1089\/lap.2018.0412","article-title":"Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for esophageal leiomyoma: a ten-year single institution experience","volume":"28","author":"Xu","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
