“…Rarely a peptic stricture can result in a reversible achalasia-like motor pattern [42]. However, in about 70% of affected patients, pseudoachalasia is caused by a primary or secondary malignancy [43,44] with primary malignancy accounting for 54-70% [44][45][46] and secondary malignancy for 6% of cases [47]. Pseudoachalasia as a manifestation of a malignancy was first described by Howarth in 1919 [48] and later by Ogilvie [49].…”

“… 3 6 8 While many forms of malignancy can metastasize to the esophagus, only 6% of pseudoachalasia cases are secondary to metastatic versus primary disease. 4 Differentiation of primary from secondary achalasia has critical implications for patient management because of vastly different approaches for the work-up and treatment of these conditions.…”

“… 3 Therefore, most of the malignant tumors associated with secondary achalasia are adenocarcinomas of the esophagogastric (EG) junction, which account for more than 70% of cases. 4 The remaining cases involve metastatic disease from the surrounding liver, mediastinum, or biliary cancer. Until now, few cases have been reported to be associated with pancreatic cancer.…”
