Abstract
A case report of a patient with two epiphrenic diverticula and a squamous cell carcinoma within one of them is presented. Moreover, a pleural empyema and an esophagopleural fistula appeared following the neoplasic diverticulum perforation. Only a few cases have been previously described in the English-language literature. An additional one is now presented.
