Abstract

ABSTRACT Cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder, which affects the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. The annual incidence of CP is 1/100,000. Esophageal involvement is rare and usually occurs in disseminated disease. Esophageal disease presents with dysphagia and weight loss and can be difficult to treat. We present a case of a 65-year-old woman with esophageal CP whose symptoms improved with esophageal dilatation and rituximab infusions.
