Abstract		Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an emerging disease in both pediat- ric and adult patients. It is a chronic disease of the esophagus and refers to intense eosinophilic in fi ltration limited to the esophageal epithelium in the absence of gastroesophageal re fl ux disease. In most patients, EoE is thought to be part of an allergic response to food antigens or aeroallergens. One such trigger could be caustic damage of the mucosa. To the best of our knowledge, the following case report describes for the fi rst time the possible association between caustic injury of the esophagus and EoE
