title: [Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis].
abstract: Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis is an uncommon and benign primary disease of the esophagus. Less than 150 cases have been reported. We report a new case diagnosed by endoscopy during the investigation of an upper gastrointestinal bleeding, in a 48-year-old man who was assymptomatic from the esophageal point of view. We discuss the clinical, pathogenic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this disease.
