Esophageal leiomyoma (EL) is rare but still the most common benign tumor of the esophagus. Extra-mucosal enucleation (EME) is the treatment of choice. Many recent reports have favored esophageal resection for giant Esophageal leiomyomas (ELs). The consequence of esophageal resection is well known and it would be radical to consider it as a preferred treatment for giant EL since most of them are still benign. We share case series of five giant ELs managed by EME, avoiding a mucosal breach and hence avoiding potentially morbid esophageal resections.
