We are reporting a case of esophageal hemangioma, which is a very rare disease with only 24 cases having been reported. A 31-year-old male with dysphagia was shown to have a hemangioma of the upper thoracic esophagus and resection of the lesion cured this problem. Once diagnosed in symptomatic patient, treatment should be instituted because of followings; 1. growth potency to large size, 2. possible complications such as hemorrhage and obstruction, and 3. exclusion diagnosis of malignancy. Surgery is the treatment of choice due to its effectiveness and safety, but endoscopic removal may be possible for small tumors and those on a pedicle.
