SUN-LB86 Case Report: Killian-Jamieson Diverticulum Presenting as a Thyroid Nodule

摘要

Introduction: Multitudinous endocrine and non-endocrine disorders cause thyroid nodules, thus in an effort to diagnostically exclude various thyroid malignancies, endocrinologists are obligated to perform a thorough investigative workup. A Killian-Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) is a rare form of cervical esophageal diverticulum that results from anterolateral, mucosal protrusion below the cricopharyngeal muscle. Due to the vicinity of the thyroid gland, this lesion can mistakenly present as a thyroid nodule.
