Gastroesophageal-vul var leiomyomatosis is a very rare condition it is characterized
by diffuse, ill-defined proliferation of smooth muscle in the esophagus and vulva.
We present an interesting case of esophageal leiomyomatosis in a woman with a
history of vulvar leiomyomatosis and a gall bladder full of stones. She was 18-years old
and had a 4 year history of vulvar mass and clitoromegaly, with subclinical dysphagia.
This paper represents the first reported simultaneous occurrence of these three pathologic
entities in the English literature.
Esophago-vulvar leiomyomatosis should be considered in a young patient with
vulvar mass and long-standing dysphagia in whom a smooth, tapered esophageal narrowing
on barium study and circumferential esophageal wall thickening on CT scan are
seen. An esophagectomy combined with a reconstruction procedure is indicated.
