Abstract

|
|
|
Esophageal diverticulum is very rare disease. Since it usually has no symptoms, it is hard to find and diagnose. Moreover, if the diverticulum is located nearly to thyroid gland, surgeons sometimes misdiagnose as a thyroid nodule. Here, we represent our case which has papillary thyroid cancer and esophageal diverticulum together. In this case, we experienced the surgical procedure and postoperative complications of the esophageal diverticulum. Even though esophageal diverticulum was in preoperative computed tomography and ultrasound, it was neglected before the surgery so that found during the operation. The purpose of this study was to know the preoperative radiological findings of the esophageal diverticulum and to find out what to be aware of during surgery and how to manage the complications after surgery.
