The Clinical Manifestations of Femoral-Facial Syndrome in an Orthopaedic Patient

First Reported Case of Femoral Facial Syndrome in an Adult: Esophageal Adenocarcinoma as a Progressive Gastrointestinal Manifestation

A 42-year-old female with a past medical history of femoral facial syndrome (FFS) and years of gastroesophageal reflux disease presented to our clinic with symptoms of dysphagia and iron deficiency anemia. On upper endoscopy, esophageal stricture and adenocarcinoma were detected. Unfortunately, the patient developed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) multi-organ failure prior to cancer treatment and died with dignity after choosing comfort care measures. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of FFS in an adult patient. This case also uniquely highlights the rare gastrointestinal manifestations of FFS.
