Barrett’s esophagus

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 1997
Patients who develop Barrett's esophagus should be entered into an endoscopic surveillance program, including endoscopic biopsy. For patients who do not develop dysplasia, we recommend surveillance every 3 years. Patients with low-grade dysplasia should be surveyed with endoscopy and biopsy every 6 months over the next year, then at 1-year intervals if

Summary Eleven patients with leiomyoma of the esophagus were seen at the University of Nebraska Hospitals from 1950 through 1969. We identified the lesion at operation in nine patients and at autopsy in two patients. Eight of the nine patients who came to operation presented with dysphagia or pyrosis. The two patients in whom we made the diagnosis at

Pediatric Radiology, 1997
Feline esophagus is a term describing a specific radiological and endoscopic appearance of the esophagus that is attributed to chronic esophagitis. To date only one report has described this appearance in childhood. We present a histologically documented case of this entity including follow-up studies after therapy for esophagitis.

At least 40-50% of patients with scleroderma experience esophageal symptoms such as heartburn and dysphagia, while up to 90% of patients ...

Carcinoma of the Esophagus

New England Journal of Medicine, 1958
AN experience with 335 cases of carcinoma of the esophagus forms the background but not the basis for this report. Rather, it seems more reasonable to examine smaller successive groups of cases to reflect more accurately changing concepts in management.
