Abstract
A 73-year-old woman visited our institution because of tumor regurgitation. Barium esophagography revealed the long pedunculated lesion in the esophagus (Fig. 1a). Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed the lesion covered with normal mucosa (Fig. 1b). The lesion arose from the hypopharynx, and was completely dissociated from the esophagus. Because she was symptomatic, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with the use of esophagogastroduodenoscope and the needle- and scissors-type knives was performed under general anesthesia and the insertion of a curved rigid laryngoscope.
