Abstract

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disorder of skin and mucous membranes, characterized by acantholysis, can be life threatening, and carries significant morbidity. Esophageal involvement is uncommon, and the diagnosis can often be delayed. Esophageal stricture secondary to PV is extremely rare, and there are no guidelines on the management of this complication. We present a case of recalcitrant esophageal stricture, secondary to PV, successfully treated with topical and intralesional steroids. Moreover, we review the literature pertaining to esophageal PV and the management of esophageal strictures.
