[Intramural pseudo-diverticulosis of the esophagus or cystic esophagitis? Study of an unusual surgical case].
The authors report an unusual case of oesophageal pseudo-diverticulosis. A 63-year-old male patient presented with dysphagia. A preoperative diagnosis of oesophageal intramural tumour was made on radiological and endoscopic abnormalities. The histopathological study of the involved oesophagus showed a pseudocystic dilatation of glandular ducts in the submucosa with a lymphocytic infiltrate. The authors review the relevant literature on oesophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis and suggest a possible pathogenesis for this rare and benign entity.
