Intraesophageal diverticulum

Esophageal intramural diverticulum is a rare benign lesion. Clinically, the esophagus wall is diffusely distributed, with 1 ~ 3mm exocapsular cysts. It was first described by Mendel in 1960, and subsequent reports continued in the literature. It is more common in men between 50 and 60, and can also affect children and young people.
