    This case study highlights Candida esophagitis mimicking esophageal cancer. Diagnostic imaging and biopsies are crucial for differentiating fungal infections from malignancy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Esophageal candidiasis is a common opportunistic infection.
    • It can present with severe symptoms mimicking other esophageal pathologies.
    • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment and patient management.

    Observation:

    • A case of Candida esophagitis presented with features resembling malignant neoplasm.
    • Severe esophageal lesions were observed.
    • The clinical presentation necessitated a thorough diagnostic workup.

    Findings:

    • Physiopathological findings explain the severe nature of the lesions.
    • Roentgenographic examinations played a role in initial assessment.
    • Endoscopic procedures, including biopsies and brushing, were vital for definitive diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering fungal infections in the differential diagnosis of esophageal masses.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis prevents delayed treatment of candidiasis and avoids unnecessary aggressive interventions for suspected malignancy.
    • Highlights the utility of combined imaging and endoscopic techniques in complex esophageal cases.
