We report the case of a 66-year-old male patient with a combined esophageal leiomyoma and diverticulum. On account of the low incidence, there is little literature available with regard to the management of those conditions. Our patient underwent a simultaneous thoracoscopic enucleation of the leiomyoma and resection of the diverticulum. Though endoscopic enucleations of myoma and resections of diverticula have been described earlier, to our knowledge, we are the first, who performed those procedures in a single operation, which seems to be feasible and safe.
