[Dysphagia due to oesophageal in benign mucous membrane pemphigoid (author's transl)]

Abstract

A 71 years old woman consulted for painless dysphagia Esophageal barium contrast X rays demonstrated regular strictures of the upper par of esophagus. She was followed by dermatologists with an oral benign mucous membrane pemphigoid since 11 years. Endoscopy asserted esophageal involvement with this disease, responsible for cicatricial stenosis. She had successful esophageal dilatations by bougie. Clinical, evolutive, pathogenic and histological features of this disease, and of esophageal involvement, are discussed.
