“…Leiomyomatosis is a diffuse mature smooth muscle proliferation that involves the esophagus, tracheobronchial tree, perirectal region, and female external genitalia, including the vulva, clitoris, and urethra [195,[220][221][222][223][224][225][226]. It is associated with Alport syndrome, which consists of hereditary nephropathy, sensorineural deafness, and eye abnormalities.…”

Neoplasms of striated and smooth muscle in children are a diverse group of neoplasms that have some unique aspects in contrast to these tumors in adults. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of infancy and childhood and is relatively common in adolescents. In contrast, smooth muscle tumors are relatively rare, and the various types of rhabdomyoma and smooth and skeletal muscle hamartomas are very uncommon. In recent years, the understanding of the pathologic and genetic aspects of rhabdomyosarcoma has been enhanced by adjunct techniques, such as immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic or molecular genetic analysis. The current classification of rhabdomyosarcoma emphasizes the histologic-prognostic correlations. This article reviews the clinicopathologic features of striated and smooth muscle tumors with an emphasis on the unique aspects of these neoplasms in children and adolescents and the differential diagnosis.

INTRODUCTIONLeiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the esophagus (67–80%), it represents 0.4–1% of all esophageal tumors.PRESENTATION OF CASEAn incidentally discovered gastro-esophageal submucosal tumor was found to have increased fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT). After laparoscopic surgical exploration and local enucleation the tumor turned out to be a benign esophageal leiomyoma.DISCUSSIONThere are few reports of esophageal leiomyomas with a positive uptake on (PET/CT) and even fewer adopting our combination of a minimally invasive approach and frozen section examination as a management plan. Our approach avoided excessive morbid surgical resections and underestimation of a malignant disease.CONCLUSIONWe report this case hoping to expand the existing literature on the topic and to highlight the limitations of PET/CT in guiding the diagnosis and subsequently the management of esophageal submucosal tumors.
