| Popis: | Plummer–Vinson syndrome (PVS), also known as Paterson–Brown–Kelly syndrome, is characterized by a triad of dysphagia, upper esophageal web, and iron deficiency anemia. It predominantly affects middle-aged females. The postcricoid webs are associated with a higher risk of squamous cell carcinoma; therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment is important. Herein, we report three cases of PVS. |
