Esophageal leiomyoma one of the most common esophageal tumors and frequently cause dysphagia, requiring surgical removal for symptom control. Aberrant right subclavian artery may also cause similar symptoms but its incidence is lower. We report a case who had dual pathologies as possible causes of dysphagia. A straightforward bi-portal video-assisted thoracoscopic removal of an esophageal leiomyoma was performed in a patient with an aberant right subclavian artery coursing posterosuperior to the leiomyoma.
