AbstractChest pain in children is commonly caused by benign etiologies but may be caused by conditions that carry significant morbidity if not treated. Emergency medicine physicians must identify the patients that require further evaluation and treatment. We describe a case of a 13-year-old boy with 10 months of progressive chest pain that had been attributed to anxiety and was ultimately diagnosed as an esophageal duplication cyst requiring surgical repair.
