Abstract

Heterotopic gastric mucosa located in the cervical esophagus is a congenital anomaly. Symptoms and morphologic changes are associated with the destruction caused by the acid secreted from the heterotopic gastric mucosa. Malignant transformation and adenocarcinogenesis may also develop in these foci. In this case report, we present a patient who had a giant esophageal inlet patch, involving a large level of the cervical esophagus extending from the thoracic esophagus.

Olgu sunumu: Servikal özofagusta dev inlet patch

Abstract

Servikal özofagus yerleşimli heterotopik gastrik mukoza, konjenital bir anomalidir. Semptomlar ve morfolojik değişiklikler, heterotopik gastrik mukozanın salgılamış olduğu asid hasarına bağlıdır. Bu odaktan malign transformasyon ve adenokarsinogenezis de oluşabilmektedir. Bu yazıda, daha önce bu kadar büyük düzeyde görmediğimiz servikal özofagustan torakal özofagusa kadar uzanan dev inlet patch olgusu sunulmuştur.

Keywords
