Esophageal ectopic sebaceous glands

The authors report the case of a 75 years old female, with history of porphyria cutanea tarda, who was sent to the emergency department after a recent abdominal waist increase that after etiologic study revealed to be secondary to paraneoplastic ascites due to an ovarian adenocarcinoma. During hospitalization the patient underwent an upper endoscopy. In the lower half of the esophagus, the mucosa showed not detachable whitish plaques (Fig. 1), suggestive of candidiasis, and whose biopsies revealed to ectopic sebaceous glands (Fig. 2). At the same time, in the greater curvature of the gastric antrum, there was a sub-epithelial lesion with a central orifice, compatible with ectopic pancreas.
