Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS), formerly known as Paterson-Brown-Kelly syndrome or sideropenic dysphagia, is a sporadic condition defined by the typical triad of symptoms, which are iron deficiency anaemia, oesophageal strictures and dysphagia. PVS predominantly affects women between the ages of 40 and 70. PVS, if left untreated or undiagnosed, may be associated with an increased risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma of the upper gastrointestinal tract or oral cavity, even in the absence of other risk factors. This case study describes a woman who is in her 50s who developed carcinoma of the tongue as a result of chronic dysphagia and untreated iron deficiency anaemia. This article emphasises the need for dental surgeons to be aware of the oral aspects of anaemia and be able to detect PVS to aid in early diagnosis and treatment.
普默-文森综合征（PVS），以前称为帕特森-布朗-凯利综合征或缺铁性吞咽困难，是一种散发性疾病，其特征性三联征为缺铁性贫血、食管狭窄和吞咽困难。PVS 主要影响 40 至 70 岁的女性。如果不治疗或未被诊断出，PVS 可能会增加患上消化道或口腔鳞状细胞癌的风险，即使没有其他风险因素。本病例研究描述了一位 50 多岁的女性，由于慢性吞咽困难和未经治疗的缺铁性贫血，发展为舌癌。本文强调了牙医需要了解贫血的口腔方面，并能够检测到 PVS，以帮助早期诊断和治疗。
