Abstract

MORALES GARCIA, D. et al. Epidermoid carcinoma arising in Zenker´s diverticulum  . An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2002, vol.19, n.1, pp.27-30. ISSN 0212-7199.

Carcinoma is a rare but recognized complication of pharingoesophageal diverticulum. We report the case of a 49-year-old man operated for a Zenker´s diverticulum with an epidermoid carcinoma arising in the diverticulum. Since carcinoma is an uncommon complication of this pathology, we review the literature and dicuss the therapeutic options

Keywords : Zenker´s diverticulum; Pharingoesophageal diverticulum; Epidermoid carcinoma.
