Esophageal leiomyoma arising in an epiphrenic diverticulum

S Hamilton. Eur J Radiol. 1988 May.

Abstract

A 32-year old woman was found at surgery to have an esophageal leiomyoma arising within an epiphrenic diverticulum. These uncommon conditions may rarely occur together, causing difficulty in diagnosis of the leiomyoma. Other neoplasms may also arise in an epiphrenic diverticulum and should be borne in mind in this situation.
