Delayed Presentation of Malignancy-Associated Pseudoachalasia of the Gastric Cardia.

Pseudoachalasia is a condition in which symptoms, manometry, and imaging findings highly resemble primary achalasia but has a secondary etiology. The majority of patients with pseudoachalasia have the condition as the result of a malignancy, most often at the gastroesophageal junction. There may be issues with timely identification of this malignancy as symptoms are often obscure with diagnostic testing yielding nonspecific results.
