Esophageal diverticulum is very rare disease. Since it usually has no symptoms, it is hard to find and diagnose. Moreover, if the diverticulum is located nearly to thyroid gland, surgeons sometimes misdiagnose as a thyroid nodule. Here, we represent our case which has papillary thyroid cancer and esophageal diverticulum together. In this case, we experienced the surgical procedure and postoperative complications of the esophageal diverticulum. Even though esophageal diverticulum was in preoperative computed tomography and ultrasound, it was neglected before the surgery so that found during the operation. The purpose of this study was to know the preoperative radiological findings of the esophageal diverticulum and to find out what to be aware of during surgery and how to manage the complications after surgery.

This is a case report of surgically treated esophageal traction diverticulum which was resulted from postpneumonectomy empyema. In March, 1976, left lower lobectomy and thoracoplasty were performed at a hospital to treat long standing lung abscess, after operation it developed into empyema. One year later [April, 1977], We did decortication and left upper lobectomy[ultimate pneumonectomy], which was followed by empyema again, 3 months later it developed esophagopleurocutaneous fistula. Esophagograms bowed an adult thumb tip sized traction diverticulum in the midportion of the esophagus. Finally in January, 1978, after 6 months of gastrostomy feeding, fistulectomy and diverticulectomy were performed The funnel shaped diverticulum was in midesophagus and retracted by surrounding inflammatory scar tissue. Now the postoperative course was uneventful.
