Quick one today. Take a look at Patient A and Patient B.
Patient A has a smooth focal indentation of the posterior cervical esophagus.
Patient B has a broader indentation that is also irregular and nodular along its contour.
Patient A has a cricopharyngeal bar, which is a prominence caused by the cricopharyngeus muscle that can cause dysphagia if it gets really prominent. Patient B has esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
