A 20 year-old female was admitted to our department because of an abnormal shadow in chest roentgenogram on a physical check-up. The barium swallowing study revealed an oppression of the middle of the esophagus. Endoscopy, chest CT and MRI failed to distinguish submucosal tumor from mediastinal tumor. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed the mass originated from the esophagus and a diagnosis of esophageal smooth muscle tumor was obtained. The tumor was tried to resect by thoracoscopic surgery but was failed because of its shape like a tortoise shell. The tumor was resected through the right thoracotomy and the diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically.

D007889 Leiomyoma A benign tumor derived from smooth muscle tissue, also known as a fibroid tumor. They rarely occur outside of the UTERUS and the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT but can occur in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE, probably arising from the smooth muscle of small blood vessels in these tissues.

D019160 Endosonography Ultrasonography of internal organs using an ultrasound transducer sometimes mounted on a fiberoptic endoscope. In endosonography the transducer converts electronic signals into acoustic pulses or continuous waves and acts also as a receiver to detect reflected pulses from within the organ. An audiovisual-electronic interface converts the detected or processed echo signals, which pass through the electronics of the instrument, into a form that the technologist can evaluate. The procedure should not be confused with ENDOSCOPY which employs a special instrument called an endoscope. The "endo-" of endosonography refers to the examination of tissue within hollow organs, with reference to the usual ultrasonography procedure which is performed externally or transcutaneously.
