A case of Plummer-Vinson syndrome is reported. The patient was a 43-year-old woman, with the chief complaint of dysphagia, manifesting glossitis and other oral symptoms, and had hypochromic anemia. Administration of chalybeate was followed by early disappearance of dysphagia and glossitis, as well as the improvement of anemia. It was emphasized that this syndrome develops frequently in women in middle age, that is, the age in which the incidence of upper esophageal cancer is high. In view of this, it is important in the diagnosis of this syndrome to eliminate the possibility of malignancy, which makes mandatory the scrupulous examination of the subpharyngo-esophageal region by means of fluorosccpy and endoscopy. The routine roentgen and endoscopic examinations having been performed in this country are not reliable in detecting the pathology. The effectiveness of chalybeate suggested an intimate relation between iron deficiency and the development of dysphagia, angular stomatitis and glossitis.
