A Symptomatic Killian-Jamieson Diverticulum Detected by Ultrasonography [PDF]
Killian-Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) is a rare entity resulting from the mucosal herniation through a lateral area of weakness known as the Killian-Jamieson space below the cricopharyngeal muscle. Ultrasonographic diagnosis is exceptional.

A Killian-Jamieson diverticulum potentially mimicking a thyroid nodule: A case report highlighting the cytology of a pharyngoesophageal diverticulum. [PDF]
The authors highlight the important contribution of rapid on‐site evaluation by the cytopathologist of a pharyngoesophageal diverticulum in a mass initially interpreted clinically as thyroidal in origin. They discuss pitfalls in avoiding interpretive diagnostic error and inappropriate thyroid Bethesda reporting.
