Abstract: BACKGROUND Esophageal lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor, and its clinical characteristics and treatment methods warrant attention. In this report, we describe a case of esophageal lymphangioma. CASE SUMMARY The 48-year-old male patient came to our hospital for a health examination one month ago. An endoscopic examination revealed a protruding lesion in the esophagus, which was completely resected via endoscopic submucosal dissection. Pathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of a lymphangioma. We have also summarized and compiled previously reported cases of esophageal lymphangioma. CONCLUSION Esophageal lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor, and endoscopic minimally invasive treatment represents a safe and effective therapeutic approach.
