(3) added a second case to the literature in 1966 with the report of an occurrence in a 52-year-old man. This communication describes a third case, which was complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis and the presence of a pharyngoesophageal web. In each case, including our own, the patient complained of food sticking in the esophagus, and barium swallow examination showed multiple pockets of contrast material protruding laterally from the esophageal lumen.

A 65-year-old Negro female was admitted to Meadowbrook Hospital with a history of increasing dysphagia.
