Abstract
Many endoscopists do not inspect the gastrointestinal tract Superior t o the cricopharyngeus, despite the fact that gastrointestinal symptoms (dysphagia, odynophagia and chest pain) can be produced by glottic an d supraglottic lesions. A case of incoordinate swallowing secondary to a right-sided pyriform fossa lymphoma diagnosed at gastroscopy is pre sented.
