ESOPHAGEAL DUPLICATION CYST IN A PATIENT WITH ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE - A CASE REPORT

Dr Rohaan Gazdar, Dr Premashish Jayant Halder

Abstract


Esophageal Duplication Cysts (EDC) are rare in adults, < 7% are symptomatic. About 90% do not communicate with the esophageal lumen. Majority occur in the lower one-third of the esophagus. Minimally invasive surgery is the preferred treatment, with shorter hospital stays. [1, 2]

A 53-year gentleman with coronary artery disease (CAD), presenting with retrosternal chest pain, was found to have a soft tissue lesion arising from the right wall of the mid - esophagus on Computed tomography (CT) scan. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) confirmed features of EDC. The cyst was excised by Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). Patient had an uneventful recovery. Histopathology confirmed EDC.
