Description

The occurrence of carcinoma in an esophageal diverticulum is rare. Among the reported cases, carcinoma in the upper (pharyngoesophageal) diverticulum has the highest incidence, and a malignancy involving the middle (parabronchial) diverticulum is the least frequent. We now report the sixth case of carcinoma arising in the middle esophageal diverticulum after a 12 year follow-up. The importance of follow-up study of esophageal diverticulum is stressed.
