An 83-year-old man with history of multiple myeloma obtained an FDG PET/CT for surveillance. Although there was no evidence of metabolically active myeloma, an incidental highly FDG-avid focus was noted at the gastroesophageal junction. Findings were interpreted as malignancy. The patient underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which showed nonerythematous desquamation of the distal esophagus consistent with esophagitis dessicans superficialis (EDS) without any evidence of malignancy. There is paucity of literature regarding EDS and its image findings. This case illustrates an instance of focal mass-like uptake on FDG PET/CT, which represents an endoscopy- and pathology-confirmed EDS and mimics esophageal cancer.
