Esophageal hemangioma: a case report and review of literature.
J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;60(4):310-1.

A 28-year-old female presented with the history of dysphagia to liquids. Initial evaluation through endoscopy was unremarkable and biopsy was reported negative for malignancy. Re-biopsy revealed a stricture like esophageal growth at 23cm from upper incisors, causing narrowing of esophagus that raised suspicion of malignancy. Microscopic examination revealed dilated blood vessels lined by flattened endothelial cells. Diagnosis of esophageal cavernous haemangioma was made. Immunohistochemistry (CD34) confirmed the diagnosis. Endoscopic resection of tumor is being planned for the patient.
