[Peptic esophageal stenosis and its relation to reflux esophagitis and esophageal cancer].
Carcinoma of the lower oesophagus can be a complication of a peptic oesophageal stricture caused by reflux oesophagitis. In most cases there is also a hiatal hernia. The main symptoms are dysphagia and epigastric retrosternal pain. The most important examinations are x-ray contrast film of the oesophagus and oesophagogastroscopy combined with biopsy.
