ABSTRACT
Bezoars are persistent concretions of indigestible matter, usually seen in the stomach. But very rarely have bezoars been reported in the esophagus.. Most esophageal bezoars are either phytobezoars or medication bezoars occuring usually in the middle aged & elderly associated with underlying anatomical or functional abnormalities of esophagus. A variety of techniques has been developed recently in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. So endoscopic management is safe and successful in most cases those required surgical management. We experienced an esophageal bezoar consisted with esophageal candidiasis in a patient who underwent esophago-gastric anastomosis and proximal gastrectomy due to early gastric cancer. The bezoar was removed by endoscopy and the esophago-gastric stenosis was treated with balloon dilator without any significant complication.
