Pseudo-achalasia is a rare pathologic entity that mimics idiopathic achalasia, usually secondary to malignant infiltration of the cardia. Its significance is related to the fact that it may be difficult to distinguish from primary achalasia; the outcome and therapeutic course are different. In fact, a large variety of processes may be responsible for the development of a secondary achalasia syndrome; we present a case with pseudo-achalasia due to a middle thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
假性贲门失弛缓症是一种罕见的病理实体，它模仿特发性贲门失弛缓症，通常继发于贲门的恶性浸润。其重要性在于可能难以与原发性贲门失弛缓症区分开来；其结局和治疗过程有所不同。事实上，多种病变过程可能导致继发性贲门失弛缓症综合征的发生；我们报告一例因胸段中段食管鳞状细胞癌导致的假性贲门失弛缓症病例。
