Abstract EN
Treatment with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is known to be associated with oesophageal stricture in both children and adults with malignancies.
However, oesophageal stricture resulting from chemotherapy alone is a rare complication, with few reports on it.
We experienced a rare paediatric case of oesophageal stricture caused by chemotherapy for osteosarcoma of the left distal femur.
After completion of the chemotherapy course, the patient showed dysphagia caused by the oesophageal stricture and underwent balloon dilatation for the oesophageal stricture.
After balloon dilatation, he was able to ingest solid foods, and the oesophagus was normal without any strictures at the last follow-up (20 months after ballooning).
Therefore, oesophageal stricture should be considered as a complication of treatment with chemotherapy alone in children with malignancies.
