Park, Hwang, Ahn, Jun, and Kim: A Case of Trichosporon beigelii Esophagitis Presenting Hematemesis with a Large Amorphous Material

Abstract

We experienced a case of Trichosporon beigelii esophagitis in a 16-month-old boy who was presented with hematemesis with a large amorphous material. A spit-out material was silky, 10 x 1.2 cm in size and like a part of hollow viscus organ. Emergent gastrofiberscopy revealed that this silky material was teared up from upper and to lower esophagus and was threw with hematemesis. It was suggested that pseudomembrane on esophagus was peeled off followed by mucosal bleeding. Pathologic study revealed this material was pseudomembrane with esophageal mucosa of T. beigelii esophagitis and was teared at lamina propria level from submucosa.
