title: Manifestations of esophageal disease on plain chest radiographs.
abstract: The chest film appearances of various esophageal abnormalities are illustrated. Inability to recognize these abnormalities on chest radiographs can result in confusion and misinterpretation. This pictorial essay should assist the radiologist in recognizing esophageal abnormalities on chest films and in recognizing their place in the spectrum of chest film abnormalities.
