RESUMEN
Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD) is a rare condition of uncertain etiopathogenesis which usually presents with either intermittent or progressive dysphagia. A review of the literature revealed very few studies of its histopathology. We report the case of a 70-year-old diabetic man who died after a road traffic accident. The patient had no history of dysphagia. The entity was discovered incidentally during the medico-legal autopsy. The esophagus showed numerous dilated pseudodiverticula confined to the submucosa and lined by both stratified squamous and cuboidal epithelium. EIPD can remain stable and asymptomatic. This case demonstrates the importance of a thorough investigation during a forensic autopsy (AU)
