Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 (A) The axial US scan shows normal esophagus. (B, C) The axial (B) and longitudinal (C) US scan of the left thyroid lobe shows 10.6×8.6×13.4 mm sized low echogenic lesion with some echogenic foci.

• 

  Fig. 2 (A, B) The esophagogastroscopy shows a outpouching lesion below the upper esophageal sphincter, containing food material.

• 

  Fig. 3 (A, B) The esophagography confirms a barium-filled sac protruding from the left anterolateral wall of the cervical esophagus (arrowheads).
