| Multiple leiomyoma is a rare benign esophageal disorder which is capable of producing severe complications. The aim ofthis study is to review the case reports of multiple leiomyomas reported in the English language literature in order toincrease the awareness of this entity in producing dysphagia and respiratory complications. To our knowledge, six casesof patients with multiple leiomyoma have been described. The major complaints were dysphagia, dyspnea, cough andother respiratory symptoms; pseudoachlasia was rarely reported. Chest X rays, computed tomography (CT) scan andendoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) were useful as diagnostic tools. CT scan demonstrated homogenous or is ofattenuation onthe lesions. EUS was accurate in visualization of the lesions and showing exact locations of the mass in theesophageal wall. All of the patients were diagnosed prior to surgery. In the current study, one case from our department isalso presented; thoracic CT scan, upper gastroscopy and EUS findings were in favor of benign multiple leiomyoma. EUS,thoracic CT scan and upper endoscopy should be strongly considered for preoperative workup in those patients due to thehigh diagnostic accuracy rates. |
