2023年7月4日 · Patients can be asymptomatic or present with symptoms of respiratory distress, dysphagia, and/or chest pain. Esophageal cysts are usually incidental findings on endoscopy or imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or barium esophagogram.

On routine endoscopy, esophageal duplication cysts can be identified via extrinsic compression of the lumen with normal appearing overlying esophageal mucosa. Endoscopically, these lesions may be indistinguishable from a lipoma, leiomyoma, a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), or other submucosal lesions.

The duplication cysts lay within the esophageal wall, falling under the category of intramural lesions and need to be distinguished from esophageal malignancies, leiomyomas, lipomas, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).

It is also possible that you may develop a cyst in your esophagus. Simple cysts are sacs filled with fluid. Esophageal duplication happens when the middle layer of the esophagus forms an extra layer, creating a “bump” or growth.

2023年7月4日 · Esophageal cysts are usually incidental findings on endoscopy or imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or barium esophagogram.
