Hitting The Bull’s-Eye in Barrett’s Esophagus: The Importance of Careful Inspection

A 67-year-old female with heartburn underwent upper endoscopy revealing a Grade C reflux esophagitis. After twice a day proton pump inhibitor, upper endoscopy was repeated and a C0M1-2 (~15mm) Barrett´s Esophagus with a diminutive Paris 0-IIa suspicious lesion with high grade dysplasia was detected. Band-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection was performed. Histopathological result was consistent with a 2mm, well/moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, m3, LV0, R0 in Barrett´s Esophagus.

We highlight the importance of repeating upper endoscopy after reflux esophagitis and the value of very carefully inspecting Barrett´s Esophagus to be able to detect discreet, although clinically relevant lesions.
