Submitted as "Mid Esophagus", Biopsy: | |||
- Squamous mucosa with basal cell hyperplasia, focal papillary | |||
elongation and abundant (predominantly basal) intraepithelial | |||
lymphocytes, see comment. | |||
- NEGATIVE for apparent eosinophils or neutrophils | |||
- NEGATIVE for dysplasia and NEGATIVE for malignancy. | |||
Comment: | |||
