Abstract

Submucosal hematoma of the esophagus is a rare disorder. We encountered a 70-year-old woman with an extremely large submucosal hematoma of the esophagus that extended from the cervical esophagus to the gastric angle. It was likely that her hematoma was caused by accidental ingestion of a fish bone, and her condition improved with conservative treatment alone. In this article, we summarize the reported cases of submucosal hematoma of the esophagus in Japan, and discuss the case with a review of the literature.
