Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS), the triad of dysphagia, iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), and esophageal webs, is a relatively rare disease entity that is mostly observed in the Caucasian populations of Scandinavia and North America. As these regions have become more developed with improved nutrition, PVS is now more commonly seen in the developing regions of the world. We present the case of a 29-year-old Pacific-islander woman who presented with progressive dysphagia and IDA and was found to have an esophageal web and () gastritis on upper endoscopy.

The mainstay treatment of PVS is iron supplementation and the dysphagia usually responds to iron supplementation before the hematologic abnormalities are corrected. This syndrome classically affects middle-aged Caucasian women and very few cases have been reported in African Americans.
