  • Title: Sclerotherapy induced pseudo-carcinoma.
    Author: Bridges R, Runyon BA, Hamlin JA, Greenbaum E.
    Journal: J Can Assoc Radiol; 1984 Jun; 35(2):199-201. PubMed ID: 6332810.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic sclerotherapy has been suggested as the therapy of choice for acute hemorrhage from esophageal varices. It not only controls such episodes, but also prevents rebleeding, and prolongs life. After treatment, patients may present with endoscopic and radiographic findings which mimic esophageal carcinoma including ulceration, non-pliable walls, irregular mucosal pattern and overhanging edges.
