“…Frager et al reported development of squamous cell carcinoma in two AIDS patients with Candida esophagitis. 7 The presentations were atypical in that both developed radiographic patterns commonly found in patients with esophagitis. As esophagitis is a common complaint in this group of patients we believe a heightened awareness of the risk of malignancy is warranted.…”

As the life expectancy of AIDS patients continues to increase due to improved anti-retroviral therapy less of these patients die of HIV-related illnesses. Dysphagia is a common complaint in AIDS patients and usually results from a fungal esophagitis. While cancer of the esophagus is occasionally found in AIDS patients, we report our experience with an AIDS patient diagnosed with a squamous cell esophageal malignancy who received pre-operative radiation and chemotherapy, followed by transhiatal esophagectomy. The patient is alive 16 months post-operatively. The transition of HIV/AIDS from an acute fulminant disease to a chronic condition mandates that these patients should receive full and standard therapy for their esophageal malignancies.

Dysphagia, difficulty in swallowing sometimes accompanied by a sensation of food sticking, is a common symptom resulting from structural and/or motility disorders of the oropharynx and esophagus which may result from local factors or occur as one of the manifestations of a systemic disease process. In this review, "systemic disease" will include diseases that affect more than one organ or organ system in the body such as scleroderma or Crohn's disease; skin disorders such as epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica and benign mucosal pemphigoid; hematological disorders such as amyloid and irondeficiency anemia; connective tissue disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disorder; metabolic and endocrine disorders such as diabetes mellitus, sarcoidosis, and the Eaton-Lambert syndrome; and the immune-compromised host, and finally medications will all be addressed.The discussion will specifically exclude diseases that produce dysphagia by local inflammation (such as erosive esophagitis due to gastroesophageal reflux) or local infiltration (such as pharyngeal or esophageal carcinoma). Similarly, diseases which affect specific areas of the brain (such as a cerebrovascular accident or brain tumor) will be excluded as will neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
