Abstract
We report the case of a 26-year-old man with diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis involving the trachea. The tumor was resected by total esophagectomy and partial resection of the trachea and the left main bronchus. The tracheobronchial defect was repaired with a free forearm skin graft with satisfactory outcome. This approach offers good long-term prospects.
