A Case of Duplication Cyst in the Cervical Esophagus

Abstract

Duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that result from foregut budding errors during embryonic development, and are extremely rare in the cervical esophagus. Furthermore, only a few cases of cervical esophageal cysts have been published in the literature to date. Most cases in adults are discovered incidentally, and there are no published reports of cases of duplication cysts of the cervical esophagus presenting with neck swelling or fever.
