Esophageal ring is an uncommon pathology that afflict the esophagus. Schatzki ring redirects here.
General
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).[1]
- Clinical diagnosis.
Gross
- Ring-like narrowing of the esophageal lumen.
Endoscopic image of a Schatzki ring. (WC)
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Inflamed squamous mucosa.
- Occasionally columnar epithelium.
DDx:[2]
Note:
- Histologic findings are nonspecific.
Sign out
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: The clinical history (Schatzki's ring) is noted; the morphology would be compatible with that (or GERD if more distal).
