Drug-induced esophagitis simulating esophageal carcinoma
Tóm tắt
Drug-induced esophagitis is an infrequently diagnosed but important cause of esophagitis. Damage to the esophageal mucosa can be severe and cause esophageal strictures that may appear malignant by radiographic and endoscopic criteria. The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and a careful review of the patient's drug history. Cessation of implicated drugs permits resolution of esophageal inflammation. Two patients with drug-induced esophagitis simulating esophageal carcinoma are presented.
