Core Tip	Esophageal manifestations of graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) are very rare. We report a case of sloughing esophagitis along with severe stenosis requiring endoscopic dilation, as a manifestation of chronic GVHD, after allogenic bone marrow transplantation. This manifestation has never been reported in this context. Endoscopy may play a significant role in early diagnosis and treatment of esophageal GVHD. Histological examination of gastrointestinal biopsies is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
