Contrast enhanced CT scan of the chest and the upper abdomen show asymmetric, circumferential thickening of the distal esophagus. On post contrast images it shows delayed enhancement. There are multiple tiny calcific foci in this thickened wall. There is slit-like narrowing of the esophageal lumen. The gastroesophageal junction is involved. The esophagus is displaced to the left ; it abuts the left posterolateral chest wall. A CT guided biopsy was performed.
