We present a 47-year-old patient with progressive dysphagia. Upper gastro intestinal
endoscopy revealed middle third esophageal ulcer, the histology of which was moderately
differentiated carcinoma. The patient underwent 3-stage esophagectomy with cervical gastro
esophageal anastomosis. The histopathology revealed Crohn's disease of the esophagus.
The clinical features and diagnosis of this rare condition are described, with review of the
literature.
