Abstract:
A 21-year-old man, with personal history of asthma and no usual medication, was referred to gastroenterology appointment due to dysphagia for solids and previous episodes of food impaction in the last 5 months. He also reported nocturnal heartburn without any other warning signs. Upper gastroscopy revealed a peptic stenosis in the distal esophagus. Histopathologic examination showed hyperplasia and numerous intraepithelial eosinophils, without dysplasia or malignancy. Therapy with a double-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI) was started.
