Ear Nose Throat J. 2021 Feb 02;:145561321989433 Authors: Yücel L, Isayev N, Beton S, Gökcan MK, Küçük TB Abstract The aim of this case study is to demonstrate the very rare coincidental existence and management of a Killian-Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) during thyroid surgery. A 57-year-old woman was referred to our clinic with a malignant thyroid nodule and the complaint of a sore throat. There were no suspicions concerning a diverticulum on examining her with flexible laryngoscopy or ultrasound imaging. During the right central neck dissection, we noticed a 3 × 3 cm KJD and resected it while preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerve. After the successful operation, we questioned the patient and learned that for 1 year she had an occasional complaint of dysphagia. Postoperatively, there was no vocal cord palsy or hypocalcemia, and there was no pharyngoesophageal leak after oral alimentation. There was no recurrence or complaint for KJD or papillary carcinoma for 8 years follow-up. Nonspecific symptoms like a sore throat should be investigated, and patients should be questioned for all aer odigestive symptoms. If necessary, further investigation should be undertaken for a differential diagnosis. PMID: 33530743 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] View on the web Inoreader.
