A 34-year-old Negro woman developed progressive dysphagia approximately 12 years after ingestion of lye. At this time, she was unable to swallow liquids, weighed 72 pounds, and complained of constant chest pain. She was found to have extensive carcinoma in the lower third of the esophagus, which was resected. A causative relationship between the lye stricture and the carcinoma is suspected.
