title: Esophageal involvement in epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica.
abstract: The clinical and radiographic findings in four cases of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica of the esophagus are presented. The patients were 5-67 years old. All had typical skin lesions and dysphagia. The most impressive radiographic finding was bulla formation in virtually any part of the esophagus. The bullae would resolve or ulcerate. Scar formation with resultant stricture of the esophagus was a common sequela of this disease.
