ABSTRACT
There are many possible causes of esophageal ulcer, such as reflux esophagitis, pill-induced esophagitis, infectious esophagitis, tuberculosis, syphilis, Behcet's disease, radiation injury, caustic injury, foreign body-induced injury, esophageal cancer, and so on. However, there are only a few cases of esophageal ulcer by thermal injury from food, and most of these were caused by liquids; few are related to ingestion of solid food. We experienced a case of a large symmetrical esophageal ulcer caused by thermal and compressive injury from a hot solid foodstuff known as 'Song-pyen', a traditional Korean food, and report the natural course of healing by conservative treatment, with a review of the few available reports regarding such injuries.
