Description

A 75-year-old male in patient with intracranial hematoma complained of dysphagia 3 months after the start of medical treatment. X-ray and esophagoscopic examinations showed a stenosis in the region from Im to Ei but no abnormalities on the esophageal mucosa. Surgical operation was performed for a suspicion of malignant disease, Gross pathological findings showed that the esophageal wall was hypertrophied and small erosions were disseminated in the dark-reddish, violet mucous membrane of the steno-tic region. Histopathological examination showed non-specific inflammation, indicating inflamma-tory cell infiltration and severe submucosal fibrosis in all the layers of the esophageal wall. In this patient, inflammatory changes are considered to be due to a nasogastric tube for feeding early in the hospitalization period.
