    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A pulsatile submucous mass found during endoscopy led to the diagnosis of a large aortic aneurysm. This finding explains the patient's symptoms despite initial cardiac evaluations ruling out heart disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Patient presented with symptoms suggestive of coronary ischemia and dysphagia, prompting referral.
    • Initial cardiac evaluations did not reveal underlying heart disease.

    Observation:

    • Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EDA) revealed a pulsatile submucous mass in the esophagus.
    • The mass was depressible via endoscopic manipulation.

    Findings:

    • Biopsy was not performed; however, a PA-lateral X-ray indicated a large aortic aneurysm.
    • Computed tomography angiography (CAT) confirmed the presence of a significant aortic aneurysm.

    Implications:

    • Aortic aneurysms can present with atypical symptoms mimicking cardiac or esophageal conditions.
  • Diagnostic imaging is crucial for identifying vascular abnormalities causing gastrointestinal symptoms.
