Abstract
Esophageal thermal injury can develop due to the ingestion of hot food and liquids [1], left atrial catheter ablation [2], caustic ingestion, or by smoking freebase cocaine [3]. Since direct thermal injury is not a known cause of esophageal ulcer, these rare cases can be easily overlooked by physicians [4]. We herein introduce the case of a woman whom we suspected to experience thermal injury-induced esophageal ulcers (Table 1).
