Lipoma of the esophagus is rare. There are few reports of the endoscopic resection of esophageal lipoma. We present a 73‐year‐old woman with lipoma of the esophagus which was successfully extirpated using the technique of endoscopic mucosal resection. To determine the depth of tumor invasion, endoscopic ultrasonography was used. A total of 31 cases of esophageal lipoma have been reported in Japan. Of these, seven were successfully resected using endoscopic techniques. Lipomas of the esophagus can grow to become large pedunculated tumors which can obstruct the airway. The majority of these tumors occur in the cervical portion of the esophagus. Most patients have no symptoms. These tumors can be resected using minimally invasive surgery when they are small.
