| description | Key Clinical Message Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune mucocutaneous disease with an involvement in gastrointestinal tract especially in oral cavity and esophagus.

The presenting symptoms will be in accordance with the affected organ such as throat pain, hoarseness, dysphagia, odynophagia, or even bleeding. Here, we report a case of undiagnosed pemphigus vulgaris presenting with epigastric pain whose endoscopy showed oropharyngeal involvement and isolate esophageal ulcer, which failed proton pump inhibitor treatment. |
