Abstract
Benign esophageal tumors occur infrequently, with leiomyomas accounting for approximately 70% of cases. Benign neural tumors of the esophagus account for 200 cases reported in the literature and rarely require operative resection. The case of a 58-year-old woman with a 4-month history of progressive dysphagia and odynophagia is presented. A large intramural esophageal mass was resected through a right thoracotomy, and the esophagus was primarily repaired. Histologic examination revealed a neurofibroma.
