AB Complaints  of  dysphagia,  odynophagia,  or  ingested  foreign  body  usually  imply  esophageal  disease.  Chest  pain,  upper  gastrointestinal  (GI)  bleeding,  malignancy,  and  mediastinitis  may  also  be  esophageal  in  nature.  Many  diseases  of  the  esophagus  can  be  evaluated  over  time  in  an  outpatient  setting,  but  several,  such  as  esophageal  foreign  body  and  esophageal  perforation,  require  emergent  evaluation.
