Abstract

A 29-year-old woman with Hodgkin disease developed odynophagia while receiving chemotherapy. Large esophageal ulcers due to staphylococcal infection of the mucosa were visualized by endoscopy and radiography. This unusual bacterial esophagitis represents another potential cause of giant esophageal ulcerations.
