Benign esophageal strictures are a common cause of medical consultation and gastroenterological endoscopy. Usually, given their non-neoplastic nature, they have been managed with recurrent endoscopic dilation which is uncomfortable for the patient and which generates high costs due repetition. In addition, there is always the risk of esophageal perforation at every session. The use of esophageal stents for management of benign esophageal strictures is becoming increasingly more common and is promising for various etiologies. We present a case of a benign esophageal stricture secondary to infection with histoplasma capsulatum which was managed entirely with a completely covered metal stent. This led to complete resolution of the obstruction.
