N2 - Plummer Vinson Syndrome, a triad of dysphagia, esophageal web, and iron-deficiency anemia, is a rarely reported diagnosis in current literature. The exact etiology of the syndrome remains controversial, but it has been linked to complicated nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, and hereditary factors, and has a remarkably high female to male ratio. This paper describes an atypical case presentation in a 53-year-old male with a remote history of peptic ulcer disease surgery.
