Abstract
Leiomyomata are the most common benign neoplasms of the esophagus, but they are still very rare in comparison to malignant tumors of this organ. We re port on the aspiration cytology findings of a case of esophageal leiomyomat osis in a 19-yr-old man. Diagn. Cytopathol. 1999;21:197-199. (C) 1999 Wiley -Liss, Inc.
