Abstract
We present the case of a 67‐year‐old man with a stenosing leiomyoma of the esophagus, which led to dysphagia. Because of severe concomitant diseases, thoracotomy was not possible in this patient. Endoscopic laser ablation was a fast and successful treatment; more than 2 years have passed without any sign of recurrence.Keywords
