A Rare Case of Bleeding Epiphrenic Esophageal Diverticulum From Arteriovenous Malformations

Epiphrenic esophageal diverticula (EED) is a rare condition that usually presents with dysphagia in patients with a known motility disorder. In this article, we present a unique case of EED presenting with hemoptysis with clinical workup negative for any pulmonary pathology. Esophagogastroduodenosco...
