Abstract
Esophageal tubular duplication is a rare congenital anomaly. We experienced a patient with esophageal tubular duplication who presented with a swallow ing difficulty which was aggravated after a gastrofiberscopic examination. Preoperative diagnosis was intramural hematoma of the esophagus due to trau ma caused by endoscopy, Surgical specimen revealed that hematoma was locate d within a duplicated lumen of the esophagus. The radiologic and endoscopic findings are discussed in correlation with its pathology.
