✦ Synopsis

Idiopathic giant esophageal ulcers have been reported in transplant recipients, 1 however treatment options are limited primarily based upon the lack of successful therapies. There has been limited experience with using thalidomide in this population. We report our experience with using thalidomide in a liver transplant recipient who developed such lesions.
