    Abstract:
    Pseudo-achalasia is a rare pathologic entity that mimics idiopathic achalasia, usually secondary to malignant infiltration of the cardia. Its significance is related to the fact that it may be difficult to distinguish from primary achalasia; the outcome and therapeutic course are different. In fact, a large variety of processes may be responsible for the development of a secondary achalasia syndrome; we present a case with pseudo-achalasia due to a middle thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
