Eur J Pediatr Surg. 1996 Jun;6(3):170-2. doi: 10.1055/s-2008-1066499.

Abstract

Benign esophageal masses are rare. The authors present a rare case of bulky pedunculated hemolymphangioma of the esophagus in a two-year-old female. The symptomatology was characterized by acute episodes of dyspnea associated with the protrusion of the mass from the mouth. The mass was removed endoscopically.
