Uncommon bullous skin disorders including mucous membrane pemphigoid can sometimes involve the esophageal mucosa, but are not thought to be associated with esophageal neoplasia. A 57-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of refractory painful oral ulceration due to mucous membrane pemphigoid was found to have esophageal mucous membrane pemphigoid when her dysphagia and acid reflux symptoms were investigated. Repeated endoscopies with esophageal dilatation were performed for her recurrent stricturing esophageal mucous membrane pemphigoid. Five years after esophageal involvement was diagnosed, she developed squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus. Chronic inflammation of the squamous esophageal mucosal lining may explain the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in esophageal mucous membrane pemphigoid. Gastroenterologists, endoscopists and dermatologists should be mindful of esophageal involvement in mucous membrane pemphigoid and a possible link with esophageal cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
