Abstract
Abstract
The successful removal of a leiomyoma of the oesophagus in a man aged 64 years is described. The exceptional feature was the presence of calcification within the tumour which is almost unknown. The differential diagnosis from extrinsic causes which produce a similar appearance is discussed in view of this misleading feature. A brief general description of the clinical, radiological, and surgical aspects of leiomyomata of the oesophagus is given.
