Siderosis of the esophagus

This publication describes a rare clinical case of esophageal siderosis. The patient was found to have flat irregularly shaped superficial scars with areas of hyperpigmentation of the esophageal mucosa in a dark color. It is known from the anamnesis that she has long suffered from iron deficiency anemia and takes iron preparations. A conclusion was made about the defeat of the esophageal mucosa by iron sulfate preparations - esophageal siderosis. The endoscopic conclusion was confirmed by a pathomorphological study - a few cells with brown pigment in the cytoplasm were found in the subepithelial connective tissue - a picture of siderosis
