Description
Two new patients with pseudosarcoma of the esophagus are presented with the first report of the findings on computerized tomography (CT). The radiographic appearance in the two patients, with 24 previously reported, is reviewed. Barium esophagograms typically demonstrate a large, elongated polypoid mass in the middle or lower third of the esophagus that distends the lumen at the level of the lesion, but does not produce marked obstruction. There are no specific CT characteristics which differentiate pseudosarcoma from squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus
