Management of Symptomatic Esophageal Involvement With Lichen Planus
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 10/21/09
Wedgeworth EK et al. – Intralesional triamcinolone and balloon dilatation produced good symptomatic relief in these 5 patients with esophageal LP. This was generally maintained for several months. The authors reviewed 35 cases of symptomatic esophageal LP in the English literature. Esophageal LP seems to have a striking predilection for middle–aged women, particularly those with disease at other mucosal sites. A range of systemic immunosuppressants and esophageal–directed therapies has been tried.
