Summary:The present report communicates a case of multiple solitary leiomyomata of the esophagus. This is an uncommon condition in which multiple, non‐confluent, benign esophageal tumors arise in the same patient. The ideal treatment is enucleation of the lesions, but when these are – as in the case reported – huge and annular, or affect the gastroesophageal junction, resection of the gullet must be performed.
