A 40-year-old woman with Reiter's syndrome had low-grade fever, a psoriasislike eruption on feet and hands, and multiple esophageal ulcers. She had keratoderma blennorrhagica, aseptic vaginitis, and ileosacral arthritis, but no ocular lesions. The patient was HLA-B27 negative. Radiographic and endoscopic examinations of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract showed multiple round or irregularly shaped small ulcers in the middle and distal portion of the esophagus. One month later, all esophageal ulcers disappeared spontaneously. A case like this of Reiter's syndrome with esophageal involvement has not been reported before.
