Benign intraluminal esophageal tumors may result in distressing symptoms for the patient and can present perplexing diagnostic problems for the physician. X-ray and esophagoseopie examinations may precisely delineate the origin and extent of the lesion and surgical removal can be accomplished with minimal risk. With excision of the growth, complete relief of symptoms is usually attained, but derangement of esophageal function may prevent a completely satisfactory result for the patient.
