| Abstract |
Esophageal leiomyoma (EL) is rare but still the most common benign tumor of the esophagus. Extra-mucosal enucleation (EME) is the treatment of choice. Many recent reports have favored esophageal resection for giant Esophageal leiomyomas (ELs). The consequence of esophageal resection is well known and it would be radical to consider it as a preferred treatment for giant EL since most of them are still benign. We share case series of five giant ELs managed by EME, avoiding a mucosal breach and hence avoiding potentially morbid esophageal resections. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 February 2018.
All research outputs
#15,493,741
of 23,025,074 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Gastroenterology
#193
of 360 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#211,514
of 331,231 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Gastroenterology
#7
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,025,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 360 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,231 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
