Esophageal lipomatous tumors are extremely rare, and due to their nonspecific clinical manifestations, distinguishing them is nearly impossible without the aid of histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular analysis. Complete resection with clear margins is the treatment of choice to avert metastasis, improve prognosis, and prevent complex complications due to the polyp growth and location. We present the case of a 70-year-old male who presented in 2023 with dysphagia due to an esophageal polyp; surgery was recommended. However, he did not accept any treatment due to fear. One year later, and since his symptoms worsened, he finally decided to undergo endoscopic treatment at another medical institution. However, during that procedure, he suffered severe asphyxia, which caused a cardiopulmonary arrest. Once he partially recovered and because he continued with dysphagia, surgery was completed, and the polyp was removed. The final diagnosis was esophageal liposarcoma.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was first described in the early 1990s. Initially a rarity, it is now the most common cause of dysphagia for solid foods in young adults. Its prevalence is estimated to be 1:2000.

Introduction: The causal relationship between chronic opioid use and esophageal motor dysfunction in symptomatic patients has not been established.
Methods: A prospective before-and-after multicenter study, including chronic active opioid patients referred for esophageal motility tests due to non-obstructive dysphagia.
Results: 37 patients were evaluated, 27 (73%) had criteria of opioid-induced esophageal dysfunction (OIED).
ChatGPT vs Expert-Guided Care Pathways for Postesophagectomy Symptom Management.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare generative artificial intelligence-initiated care pathways, using ChatGPT, with expert-guided consensus-initiated care pathways from AskMayoExpert (AME) for symptom management of esophageal cancer patients after esophagectomy.
Methods: A formal protocol for development of 9 AME care pathways was followed for specific patient-identified domains after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Domain scores were measured and assessed through the Upper Digestive Disease tool.

To investigate the safety and short-term effectiveness of laparoscopic-assisted cardiectomy with side-overlap esophagogastric reconstruction for the treatment of terminal or end-stage achalasia, patients with end-stage achalasia treated with laparoscopic-assisted cardiectomy with side-overlap esophagogastric reconstruction were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical data, surgical data and follow-up were analyzed. Among twenty-five patients enrolled, the achalasia type St was present in 12 (48%) patients, type Sg in 9 (36%), and type aSg in 4 (16%).

Background Aims: Esophageal symptom-specific anxiety, hypervigilance, and adaptive behaviors at mealtime may affect dysphagia reporting in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) but this has not been investigated. Moreover, the relationship between such confounding factors and histological disease activity (HDA) is unclear.
Methods: This was a prospective study on adults with EoE.
