- Abstract
Although dysphagia in patients treated for malignancy is usually related to reflux esophagitis, infectious esophagitis, malignant infiltration, or as a complication of radiation therapy, acute esophageal stricture resulting from chemotherapy is very rare. Only 2 prior cases have been described in the treatment of an adult patient with malignancy. We present a unique case of isolated chemotherapy-induced esophageal stricture in a patient receiving treatment for metastatic testicular seminoma without prior history of gastroesophageal reflux disease, caustic ingestion, or other risk factors for esophageal stricture formation.
