We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with an esophageal lichen planus (ELP) stricture refractory to medical therapy and endoscopic stricture dilation. A multidisciplinary decision was made to place an esophageal fully covered metal stent. The stent was removed 6 weeks later and the patient is doing well on 3-month follow up. We show that a removable esophageal stent is an option after standard medical therapy and endoscopic dilations fail. This is the first reported use of an esophageal stent for therapy of an ELP stricture.
我们报告了一例51岁女性患者，患有食管扁平苔藓（ELP）狭窄，对药物治疗和内镜下狭窄扩张均无效。经多学科会诊后决定置入一枚全覆膜食管金属支架。6周后取出支架，患者在3个月的随访中情况良好。我们表明，在标准药物治疗和内镜扩张失败后，可移除的食管支架是一种选择。这是首次报道使用食管支架治疗ELP狭窄。
