Blastomycosis of the esophagus
A Khandekar, D Moser and WJ Fidler
A patient had clinical, endoscopic, and roentgenographic signs of
esophageal carcinoma, but biopsies and brushings were negative. At
operation he was found to have blastomycosis localized to the
esophagogastric region and adjacent lymph nodes. There was no evidence of
pulmonary disease. He was treated successfully by partial esophagectomy and
amphotericin. The literature on esophageal blastomycosis is reviewed.
