AB  - Symptomatic ordinary esophageal lipomas are rare tumors. Spindle cell lipomas 
      (SCLs) of this location are even more infrequent. To our knowledge, only a 
      previous esophageal SCL case has been reported. We describe herein the case of a 
      62-year-old woman with a long history of heartburn and feeling of abdominal 
      distension. Preoperative investigations, including a Barium meal, gastroscopy, 
      and echoendoscopy revealed a lipomatous polypoid mass attached to the middle 
      esophageal segment. The lesion (3.5x2x1 cm) was excised endoscopically under deep 
      sedation. The final histopathology diagnosis was pedunculated SCL. An accurate 
      diagnosis of esophageal SCL is crucial to rule out malignant lesions, relieve 
      symptoms, and undertake suitable treatment. The main differential diagnosis 
      includes well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma, atypical spindle 
      cell∕pleomorphic lipomatous tumor, giant fibrovascular polyp, and fat-forming 
      solitary fibrous tumor. Although rare, SCL should be added to the list of 
      lipomatous tumors that can affect the esophagus. Complete excision is the 
      appropriate treatment.
