'''Esophagus''' connects the pharynx to the [[stomach]]. It is afflicted by tumours on occasion. Probably the most common affliction is [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]] (GERD). Most biopsies revolve around the questions: 1. intestinal metaplasia? 2. dysplasia? and 3. cancer? | '''Esophagus''' connects the pharynx to the [[stomach]]. It is afflicted by tumours on occasion.

Esophagus at 22 cm, Biopsy: | |||
- Gastric type mucosa with mild chronic inactive inflammation, see comment. | |||
- Scant unremarkable squamous epithelium. | |||
- NEGATIVE for intestinal metaplasia. | |||
- NEGATIVE for dysplasia. | |||
Comment: | |||
This is in keeping with an "inlet patch", also known as "heterotopic gastric mucosal patch of the proximal esophagus". | |||
