Achalasia of the esophagus associated with Hodgkin disease.
Esophageal achalasia has not been reported in the literature as a complication of Hodgkin disease. Involvement of the esophagus is rare but when present, consists mostly of bleeding, ulceration or diverticuli. A case is reported in a fifty-one year old female with achalasia of the distal third of the esophagus associated with Hodgkin disease, Stage II B.
