[Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis].
We report two cases of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD). EIPD is a rare condition characterized by multiple flask-shaped outpouchings in the esophageal wall representing dilated excretory ducts of submucosal glands. Dysphagia is the leading symptom. On endoscopy, minute openings in the esophageal wall, and sometimes a segmental candida esophagitis or a benign stenosis not originating from an erosive reflux esophagitis are found.
