Diagnostic endoscopic finding includes finding an intact pill or its residue on endoscopy, but they are rarely found. Pathology typically reveals luminal brown-black crystalline materials adjacent to the injured surface epithelium or in combination with luminal fibroinflammatory exudate. Brown crystalline material on Perl’s staining is the typical finding of iron-induced esophagitis. Crucial treatment is cessation of medication. We report an elderly woman diagnosed with iron-induced esophageal ulcer whose ulcers improved while iron medication was maintained.             https://he02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/sirirajmedj/article/view/73432Ironesophageal ulcer
