✦ Synopsis

Metastatic tumors to the esophagus have been described as having the imaging characteristics of benign mural tumors such as leiomyomata, but application of enucleation in treating such tumors has not been described. Our report describes long esophageal myotomy and enucleation of tumor for palliation of dysphagia due to a mural tumor originating from a lung primary.
