Black esophagus, a condition causing dark discoloration and necrosis, can result from ischemia or alkaline reflux. This report details three new cases and compares them to existing literature.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Black esophagus is an endoscopic finding characterized by a black discoloration of the esophageal mucosa.
  • Histologic examination reveals mucosa necrosis in affected individuals.

Observation:

  • Three new cases of black esophagus are presented.
  • Endoscopic findings included diffuse or patchy black coloration.
  • Histologic analysis confirmed esophageal mucosa necrosis.

Findings:

  • Two cases were associated with suspected ischemia.
  • One case suggested alkaline reflux as a potential cause.
  • These cases are compared with seven previously reported instances in medical literature.

Implications:
