Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD) is a rare disease characterized endoscopically by numerous small outpouchings within the esophageal wall. While typically associated with benign symptoms such as dysphagia, EIPD has been linked to esophageal malignancy, both as a predisposing condition and associated coexisting diagnosis. However, the association is not clear. This case report details a patient with a history of EIPD who developed multifocal superficial squamous cell carcinoma in the context of high-grade dysplasia throughout the esophagus.
食管壁内假性憩室病(EIPD)是一种罕见疾病,内镜下特征为食管壁内有众多小的憩室样突出。虽然通常与吞咽困难等良性症状相关,但EIPD已被认为与食管恶性肿瘤有关,既作为一种易感因素,也作为相关的并存诊断。然而,这种关联尚不清楚。本病例报告详细介绍了一名有EIPD病史的患者,该患者在整个食管高级别异型增生的背景下发生了多灶性浅表鳞状细胞癌。
