Abstract
52-year-old woman with a left colitis type ulcerative colitis (UC) was referred to our hospital for the treatment of steroid-dependent UC. For the investigation of her swallowing pain on the chest, she underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) , which showed an ulcer in the middle esophagus. Colonoscopy also showed modelate inflammation in the left colon. PPI administration did not improve esophageal ulcer. Then, induction therapy for UC was started with steroid and immunomodulator, which improved bloody stool and also swallowing pain in a week. Healing of esophageal ulcer, was confirmed by EGD. She was diagnosed as a rare case of esophageal ulcer complicated with UC.
