          This was an esophageal diverticulum–no biopsy!

            Great case!  We had something similar, but it was a post-surgical traction diverticulum / sinus tract after laryngectomy.  We proved it with CEUS, having the patient drink diluted ultrasound contrast and showing the structure fill with contrast!
