title: Diffuse esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis.
abstract: I have reported a case of esophageal pseudodiverticulosis, a benign disorder consisting of dysphagia and esophageal stricture. The diagnosis is made by the radiologic findings of multiple outpouchings into the esophageal wall. The disorder appears to be related to abnormal submucosal glands of the esophagus. No coexistent diseases have been found, and except for treatment of the associated esophageal stricture no specific therapy is required.
