Leiomyoma is the most common type of benign esophageal tumor, whereas extramucosal cysts of the esophagus are congenital anomalies frequently asymptomatic in the adult and in most cases detected incidentally on chest X-ray. Conventional imaging tests do not lead to a precise diagnosis. Endoscopic ultrasonography is very accurate in visualizing these lesions and in differentiating cystic from solid submucosal esophageal masses; in addition, the test can establish the exact location of the mass in relation to the esophageal wall and mediastinum.
