ABSTRACT
The Authors describe a rare case of esophageal stenosis complicated by gastroesophageal reflux due to Trichosporon beigelii in the absence of a pathologic predisposition or immunodeficiency. The diagnosis was drawn by embedding membrane fragments obtained endoscopically in Sabouraud and blood-Agar cultures. The patient was treated with antimicotics, immunostimulants, inhibitors of the gastric protonic pump, prokinetics and later underwent endoscopic dilatation combined with Savary-Guillard and pneumatic dilatators of growing diameter, until complete "restitutio ad integrum" of the esophageal lumen.
