INTRODUCTION: Diverticular disease most common site in digestive tract is large intestine, but can also appears in small intestine and esophagus. Esophageal diverticula are divided according to injured portion (pharyngeal, middle or epiphrenic).
CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of large epiphrenic diverticulum in a 71-year-old woman with mild gastrointestinal symptoms managed laparoscopically with diverticulectomy and fundoplication.
DISCUSSION: Epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum is rare, originated from unknown increase of intraesophageal pressure. Diagnosis usually occurs with imaging and endoscopic investigation and surgical treatment is indicated for symptomatic patients.
CONCLUSION: High suspicion and proper analysis are fundamental for diagnosis and treatment definition, which may include outpatient follow-up or surgery.
