Abstract
- Esophageal duplication cysts are a very rare form of benign esophageal tumors and are frequently asymptomatic. Esophageal duplication cysts result from errors in coalescence of vacuoles during the normal secretion and vacuolization process in the 10-mm embryo. Recently, we experienced a case of long tubular esophageal duplication complicated with perforation into esophageal lumen. We report it with a review of literatures.
