Leiomyomas are the most common benign tumor of the oesophagus. symptomatic patients are candidates for excision, we have discussed a case report of a 43-year-old male patient who had complains of progressive dysphagia. Imaging studies suggested a distal oesophageal mass with calcific foci. The tumor was enucleated laparoscopically with an operative time of 160 minutes. The patient was gradually started on oral feeds from the 3rd postoperative day after an upper gastrointestinal contrast study. The patient was discharged on the 5th postoperative day. We found this minimally invasive approach to be effective with a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery as compared to a thoraco abdominal approach.
