Concomitant esophageal and penile ulcerations healed with steroid therapy in a patient with AIDS: case report.
A 50-year-old man with AIDS developed concomitant esophageal and penile ulcerations. An etiology could not be found despite intensive investigation. Both ulcers healed after treatment with corticosteroids. To our knowledge, such a situation has been described only for aphthous ulcerations involving the mouth, oropharynx, or esophagus.
