Abstract

A 41-year-old woman with relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia was treated twice with idarubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine. She developed a 6-cm-long stricture in the lower esophagus 12 days after re-induction therapy. Although she had preceding candida infection, it is suspected that her stricture was caused by mucosal damage due to chemotherapeutic agents. This case suggests that the possibility of esophageal stricture should be considered in patients with swallowing disturbance after intensive chemotherapy.
