| Core Tip |
Although esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD) itself is a very rare disease, we encountered a case of EIPD occurring in the residual esophagus after esophagectomy. To our knowledge, no previous reports have described EIPD as a cause of benign stricture in esophagogastric anastomosis. The mucosal inflammation and stricture were treated with endoscopic balloon dilatation and anti-fungal therapy. Herein, we report the first case of EIPD showing anastomosis stricture 11 years after esophagectomy was performed to treat esophageal cancer. |
