Sumario:AIM: We report a case of atypical esophageal stricture in a young diabetic woman. BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are two common disorders in modern society. CASE REPORT: A young diabetic woman developed a 6-cm-long esophageal stricture. This stricture was refractory to multiple esophageal dilation procedures. She underwent subtotal esophagectomy and had excellent treatment outcome. CONCLUSION: Gastroesophageal reflux disease can cause severe long esophageal stricture in a brittle diabetic. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Improving the awareness of their association between diabetes and GERD would greatly benefit the day-to-day practice of medicine.
