An esophageal web is a thin and smooth extension of normal esophageal tissue consisting of mucosa and submucosa that can occur anywhere along the length of the esophagus but is typically located in the cervical segment. The webs can be congenital or acquired, commonly associated with Plummer-Vinson syndrome and rarely with celiac disease, dermatological disorders or graft-versus-host disease. A 54-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a history of high non-progressive dysphagia to solid food, meat impaction and weight loss over last ten months. His medical history and family history were unremarkable nor was the physical examination. Complete blood count and basic biochemical tests were normal. Antigliadin and antiendomysial antibodies for celiac disease were negative. Barium swallow esophagography and upper endoscopy detected cervical esophageal webs. The treatment consisted of endoscopic balloon dilation. The patient's dysphagia resolved shortly after dilation, and the endoscope passed easily through the esophagus showing normal esophageal, gastric and duodenal mucosa. This report is consistent with a case of esophageal webs rarely documented in males and that is not related with common causes like Plummer-Vinson syndrome. Thus, the pathogenesis and treatment of esophageal webs are evolving.

Plummer-Vinson syndrome (sideropenic dysphagia) is characterized by dysphagia due to an upper esophageal or hypopharyngeal web in patients with chronic iron deficiency anemia. The main cause of dysphagia is the presence of the web in the cervical esophagus, and abnormal motility of the pharynx or esophagus is also found to play a significant role in this condition. This syndrome is thought to be precancerous because squamous cell carcinoma of hypopharynx, oral cavity or esophagus takes place in 10% of those patients suffering from this malady, but it is even more unusual that Plummer-Vinson syndrome should be accompanied by gastric cancer. We have reported here a case of a 43-year-old woman with Plummer-Vinson syndrome who developed stomach cancer and recovered after a radical total gastrectomy with D2 nodal dissection.

A prospective clinico pathological study of Head and Neck Cancer cases presenting in E.N.T. OPD was done and its observations were compared with retrospective studies done earlier by Gupta et al (1986), It was seen that carcinoma laryngopharynx was the commonest (38.18%) malignancy seen in the present study followed by carcinoma of Larynx (16.36%) and Oesophagus (14.54%). Carcinoma of the nasopharynx was seen in 12.72% cases followed by carcinoma oropharynx (10.91%), Histopathologically; 98.18% cases were of squamous cell carcinomas and out of these only 31.48% were well differentiated carcinoma. There was only 1 case (1.81%) of occult primary. In the retrospective study, the incidence of cancer of Laryngopharynx was 33.33% followed by oropharynx 16.66% and Larynx and Lymphoma (11.11%) each. Occult primary was observed in 3 cases (5.33%) and carcinoma naspoharynx in 4 cases (4.44%). Poor socioeconomic status, bad orodental hygiene, Plummer-vinson syndrome in females were the commonest predisposing factors in addition to smoking, Pan Masala, Zarda and Gutka chewing in the causation of Head and Neck cancer both in prospective and retrospective studies.
