Abstract
In 1931 Abrikossoff described a tumor usually benign, which only rarely appears in the esophagus. In a 30 yr old man, an 8 mm tumor was found in the distal esophagus; it was removed surgically. Similar cases (30) were found in the literature. Characteristics and treatment are discussed.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
