A pediculated tumour of the oesophagus which was missed by radiological examination and an initial fibroscopy performed for a hiatal hernia was discovered by chance 25 centimeters from the teeth during a second fibroscopy. Histologically, this consisted of a benign polypoid angiomatous structure. The patient's anxiety made operation necessary, the latter being carried out using a rigid oesophagoscope. The benign nature of the tumour was confirmed. Both the operative procedure and post-operative course were completely satisfactory.
