A 42 year-old man, who presented weight loss of more than 30 pounds and vomiting, during the previous 6 months. At that time, the upper endoscopy performed in a public hospital only explored the esophagus, since they could not get into the stomach due to an obstruction. 3 months after that he was refered to our endoscopic unit and a balloon dilation of esophageal stricture, under direct endoscopic visualization, had to be perform. However, the biopsies were negative to carcinoma.
