AB - Pemphigus is an autoimmune and life-threatening disease. Esophageal involvement of pemphigus vulgaris
is rare. The most common presenting symptoms are odynophagia and dysphagia. Here, I present one cases
of pemphigus vulgaris presenting with dysphagia because of esophageal involvement of the disease. In case,
a 27-year-old female patient with a prior diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris presented with dysphagia.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed diffuse mucosal exfoliation and oozing bleeding of the esophagus.
The patient recovered after the administration of corticosteroids, pantoprazole and azathioprurine.
