This article discusses a wide spectrum of intrinsic benign structural lesions of the esophagus. Additionally discussed are extrinsic benign structural lesions that may cause esophageal symptoms. Because any congenital anomaly or disease of a structure that normally impinges on the esophagus, or is adjacent to it, may distort the esophagus, we review disorders from several different organ systems.
