A 66-year-old man with a history of tobacco and alcohol consumption was diagnosed with a severe peptic esophagitis. After treatment, an endoscopy showed the resolution of esophagitis, but revealed white multinodular plaques with a diffuse distribution. Histology showed esophageal mucosa with a prominent granular layer and hyperorthokeratotis, in keeping with epidermoid metaplasia. This unusual condition has been linked to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, diagnosis and endoscopic surveillance should be considered.
