Pleomorphic adenoma of the esophagus is a rare tumor: less than 10 cases
have been reported. These pleomorphic neoplasms are sessile and arise in
the submucosal glands of the esophagus. Described in this report is the
long-term follow-up of an additional case, in which the resection was
reinforced with a pectoralis major muscle wrap.
