The common clinical symptoms of esophageal submucosal elevation include choking sensation when swallowing food, foreign body sensation, and in more serious cases, retrosternal pain, which is aggravated when eating. Esophageal submucosal bulge is often considered esophageal smooth muscle tumor, which is a benign esophageal tumor formed by mesenchymal cells, but there is also the possibility of malignant transformation, usually detected by upper gastrointestinal barium meal or gastroscopy in the clinical examination. This disease will have more obvious choking sensation when swallowing food, foreign body sensation as well as burning and pins and needles pain behind the sternum. If the smooth muscle tumor does not meet the surgical indications, it can be removed under gastroscopy, which is less damaging to the esophageal mucosa. In addition, we should pay attention to the diet, do not eat too hot, spicy food to stimulate the esophagus, aggravate the condition, if the symptoms worsen, we should go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to improve the relevant examination and standardized treatment.
