title: Atypical esophageal diverticula associated with progressive systemic sclerosis.
abstract: Five cases of unusual esophageal diverticula associated with progressive systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) or collagen vascular disease are presented. These wide-mouthed saccular diverticula were infrequently seen in a group of PSS patients with the typical motility disturbance of esophageal involvement and are reminiscent of the diverticula of the colon involved by PSS.
