Coincidental Killian-Jamieson Diverticulum During Thyroid Surgery: A Rare Cause of Dysphagia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this case report is to demonstrate a very rare coincidental existence and management of the Killian-Jamieson diverticulum during thyroid surgery in a patient with dysphagia. An 18-year-old female patient with the complaints of progressive dysphagia and a rapidly growing mass at the anterior cervical region was undergone thyroid lobectomy. Coincidentally, a 2×2 cm Killian-Jamieson diverticulum was observed and simultaneously excised with the thyroid lobe, preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Dysphagia is a frequent symptom, especially in patients with a rapidly growing thyroid mass. Thyroid surgeons should keep in mind that hypopharyngeal and upper esophageal pathologies can mimic the symptoms of a thyroid mass; therefore, detailed imaging techniques should be used for the differential diagnosis.

Killian-Jamieson diverticulum is a rare hypopharyngeal diverticulum, less commonly encountered compared with Zenker's diverticulum. These hypopharyngeal diverticula that cause dysphagia often mimic a thyroid tumor incidentally detected on neck ultrasonography. However, to our knowledge, Killian-Jamieson diverticula complicated by a thyroid tumor have not been previously described. We experience...

متن کاملReal-time sonography of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum and its differentiation from thyroid nodules.
illian-Jamieson and Zenker diverticula are both rare pharyngoesophageal diverticula. Both are outpouching of the mucosal and submucosal layers of the esophageal wall, which protrude through a muscular gap at the level of the pharyngoesophageal esophagus. When these diverticula are large enough, they can be in proximity to the thyroid gland and may mimic a thyroid nodule.1,2 Thyroid nodules, alt...

Introduction. Pharyngoesophageal diverticuli are a common cause of dysphagia; they are associated with various morbidities and a decreased quality of life. There are several different types of the diverticuli, and they are divided based on the anatomical location of origin relative to the cricopharyngeal muscle; these include Zenker's, Killian-Jamieson's, and Laimer's diverticula. The authors p...
