A pedunculated intraluminal foregut reduplication cyst of the proximal esophagus.
A 66-year-old woman with a 3-month history of progressive dysphagia underwent transoral excision of a pedunculated cyst arising in the proximal esophagus. Histologic examination confirmed a pedunculated intraluminal foregut reduplication cyst. She remains well 1 year after excision with no recurrence of dysphagia.
