Concurrent Diagnosis of Superficial Esophageal Cancer and Esophageal Achalasia: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We report a case of a 70‐year‐old woman with esophageal achalasia and concurrent superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Three adjacent superficial lesions were resected en bloc by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), with no lymphovascular invasion.

Esophageal achalasia compressing the left atrium and mimicking an extracardiac tumor on the transthoracic echocardiography: A case report [PDF]

Radiology Case Reports
Achalasia is an uncommon disorder affecting esophageal motility. Occasionally, the appearance of a dilated esophagus in achalasia may resemble an extracardiac tumor when observed through transthoracic echocardiography.

Acute Respiratory Failure From Massive Esophageal Dilatation due to Achalasia

Clinical Case Reports
Massive esophageal dilation from achalasia can cause acute respiratory failure via lung compression. Prompt recognition and urgent esophageal decompression can rapidly reverse hypoxia and be lifesaving.

POEM for Esophageal Achalasia [PDF]

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2020
Over the past decade, per-oral endoscopic myotomy has been shown to be a durable minimally invasive approach to the treatment of esophageal achalasia. Patients with suspected achalasia should undergo upper endoscopy, timed barium esophagram, and high-resolution manometry to confirm the diagnosis.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Esophageal Motility Disorders [PDF]

Clinical Endoscopy, 2020
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is one of the most clinically successful tunnel-based minimally invasive endoscopic treatments. The classic indications of POEM include achalasia of all types, including failed prior treatments, and expanded indications ...

Comparison of Oral and Esophageal Microbiota in Patients with Achalasia Before and After Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2021
Background/Aims: Patients with achalasia have a high incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which may be associated with alterations in oral and esophageal microbiota caused by food stasis.
