Abstract
A 62-year-old man had a medical examination on our hospital on March 7, 2000. He had complained of dysphagia for a year. Esophagogram revealed multiple flask-shaped outpouchings in the upper intrathoratic esophagus, then he was diagnosed as esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD) . Esophagoscopy on April 10, 2000, showed multiple white plaques and mild stenosis in the upper intrathoratic esophagus. Histological examination demonstrated inflammatory cells which massively infiltrated into the epithelium, and presence of Candida Albicans. Therefore, he was diagnosed as EIPD with Candida esophagitis. After antifungal medications were administered for a week, dysphagia was improved. Esophagoscopy on May 9, 2000, revealed multiple orifices of the pseudodiverticula. We reviewed Esophagogram from another hospital, then we found that EIPD had grown up for a year.
