Abstract
The present report communicates a case of multiple solitary leiomyomata of the esophagus, This is an uncommon condition in which multiple, non-conflue nt, benign esophageal tumors arise in the same patient, The ideal treatment is enucleation of the lesions, but when these are - as in the case reporte d - huge and annular, or affect the gastroesophageal junction, resection of the gullet must be performed.
