Abstract (EN): There are some unusual esophageal lesions, which by their rarity, and location or etiology raise difficult therapeutic decisions for surgeons. In this report we describe an esophageal inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) associated with a pseudodiverticulosis cyst in an adult male. We discuss the pathogenic and the anatomopathological aspects of these uncommon associated lesions as well as the treatment of ITP.
