Esophageal stricture is usually a clinical diagnosis. Considered broadly, strictures may be benign or malignant.

This article deals primarily with benign stricture of the esophagus or benign esophageal stricture.

General

Strictures in general:

  • Malignant - it is the pathologist's job to help rule-out these.
  • Benign.
  • Most are distal.[1]

Treatment:

  • Stenting.[2]
  • Endoscopic dilation.[3]
  • Surgery.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Squamous mucosa with irritation:
    • +/-Keratinization.
    • Intraepithelial lymphocytes.
    • Basal cell hyperplasia.
  • Fibrosis (deep) - usually not seen.

DDx:

Sign out

ESOPHAGUS, BIOPSY:
- SQUAMOUS MUCOSA WITH BASAL CELL HYPERPLASIA, MILD INTRAEPITHELIAL EDEMA, FOCAL EARLY
  KERATINIZATION AND INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES.
- SCANT COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM WITH MODERATE CHRONIC INACTIVE INFLAMMATION.
- NEGATIVE FOR INTESTINAL METAPLASIA.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
