“…The usual radiographic features and differential diag- nosis of candidiasis of the esophagus have been well-described [2,3,5,6]. Unusual presentations include complete obstruction of the esophagus by fungus ball [13], a localized polypoid lesion [7], focal narrowing simulating a carcinoma [9], esophagobronchial fistula with pulmonary abscess [14], and esophageal pseudodiverticulosis [15][16][17][18].…”

Candidiasis of the esophagus progressing to hard fibrosed strictures of the esophagus in 2 patients is reported. Both patients had deficient immunologic systems and received extended courses of broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy for control of sepsis. The strictures were progressive despite adequate antifungal therapy and several attempts at dilatations and necessitated visceral esophageal substitution as definitive surgical therapy.

“…This stricture created in creased intraluminal pressure which, along with associated motor abnormalities, pro moted mucosal herniations creating esopha geal 'diverticula'. However, histological ex amination of these lesions in subsequent re ports [6,7] prove they are not true diverticula but pseudodiverticula.…”
