AB  - Esophagitis dissecans superficialis (EDS) is a rare esophageal disease with a 
      wide spectrum of presentations from asymptomatic to debilitating symptoms. There 
      is a strong association of EDS with autoimmune diseases, smoking, and 
      medications, but it can also be idiopathic. Due to the sporadic occurrence of 
      EDS, identification requires a high index of suspicion to avoid frequent 
      misdiagnoses. Herein, we present a case of EDS associated with the long-standing 
      use of oral diclofenac with a favorable outcome after therapy with a proton pump 
      inhibitor (PPI).
