We report two cases of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD). EIPD is a rare condition characterized by multiple flask-shaped outpouchings in the esophageal wall representing dilated excretory ducts of submucosal glands. Dysphagia is the leading symptom. On endoscopy, minute openings in the esophageal wall, and sometimes a segmental candida esophagitis or a benign stenosis not originating from an erosive reflux esophagitis are found.
Echinokokkus-Zysten enstehen durch eine Infektion mit Eiern des Hundebandwurms. Solche Zysten bleiben oft asymptomatisch. Unbehandelt können sie zu Hepatomegalie, Penetration in Nachbarorgane oder einer Aussaat in die Bauchhöhle führen. Entsprechend ihrer sonographischen Morphologie, klassifiziert nach Gharbi werden sie entweder durch perkutane Aspiration oder chirurgisch behandelt. Die medikamentöse Therapie hat einen untergeordneten Stellenwert.
