A 42-year-old female with a past medical history of femoral facial syndrome (FFS) and years of gastroesophageal reflux disease presented to our clinic with symptoms of dysphagia and iron deficiency anemia. On upper endoscopy, esophageal stricture and adenocarcinoma were detected. Unfortunately, the patient developed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) multi-organ failure prior to cancer treatment and died with dignity after choosing comfort care measures. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of FFS in an adult patient. This case also uniquely highlights the rare gastrointestinal manifestations of FFS.
一名42岁女性,有股面综合征(FFS)病史及多年胃食管反流病,因吞咽困难和缺铁性贫血症状前来我院就诊。上消化道内镜检查发现食管狭窄和腺癌。不幸的是,该患者在癌症治疗前出现了2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)多器官衰竭,在选择舒适护理措施后尊严离世。据我们所知,我们报告了首例成年患者的FFS病例。该病例还独特地突出了FFS罕见的胃肠道表现。
