Abstract

Sialadenoma papilliferum is an extremely rare benign tumor of the esophagus. We report a 70-yr-old woman who was first thought to have adenocarcinoma in the distal esophagus. Transhiatal esophagectomy and left colon interposition were performed. The pathological diagnosis of sialadenoma papilliferum of the esophagus arising in the submucosal gland ducts was confirmed after surgery.
