Abstract:
The Authors report a case of leiomyoma located in an epi-phrenic diverticulum. The development of the leiomyoma may have weakened the esophageal wall and caused the diverticulum to appear. Surgical treatment consisted of diverticulectomy with myotomy and a Belsey MK IV antireflux procedure.
