Successful Treatment of a Persistent Esophageal Lichen Planus Stricture With a Fully Covered Metal Stent

We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with an esophageal lichen planus (ELP) stricture refractory to medical therapy and endoscopic stricture dilation.

description We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with an esophageal lichen planus (ELP) stricture refractory to medical therapy and endoscopic stricture dilation. A multidisciplinary decision was made to place an esophageal fully covered metal stent. The stent was removed 6 weeks later and the patient is doing well on 3-month follow up. We show that a removable esophageal stent is an option after standard medical therapy and endoscopic dilations fail. This is the first reported use of an esophageal stent for therapy of an ELP stricture.
