Özet

Simultabeous polyps and diverticulum of the esophagus has been extremely rarely reported in the medical literature. We report a 38-years-old female complaining of intermittent dysphagia and odynophagia. A barium meal study showed an esophageal diverticulum. Fiberoptic esophagoscopy confirmed multiple small size polypoid lesions and a diverticulum. Right thoracotomy and diverticulectomy was performed because of dysphagia and odynophagia. During surgery, we observed a tight adhesion between the left main bronchus and the esophageal diverticulum. Additionally, we noticed that the diverticulum was about to form a fistula in the esophagus and left main bronchus. However, there was no complete fistula formation. The final pathological diagnosis was inflammatory polyp and diverticulum of the esophagus together with infective cells.
