The Prevalence of Heterotopic Gastric Mucosa of the Proximal Esophagus and the Relationship Between Clinical and Endoscopic Findings
Abstract
Purpose
In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of HGMPE and the relationship between clinical and endoscopic findings.
Patients and Methods
Between December 2013 and February 2018, a total of 4126 patients, 2091 women and 2035 men, who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy in the gastroenterology unit of Acıbadem Kayseri Hastanesi were retrospectively screened.
Totally, 122 patients, 54 women and 68 men found to have heterotopic gastric mucosa and a control group of age and sex matched 241 patients, 107 women and 134 men who do not have heterotopic gastric mucosa were included the study.
Results
We found the prevalence of HGMPE 2.96 % in our study. Dysphagia was significantly higher in the case group, whereas abdominal pain was higher in the control group.
Conclusion
Because of the controversies among the studies we think that HGMPE may be a frequent finding if the endoscopist be aware of this entity. Although the controversies remain regarding the clinical significance of this entity, increasing number of cases of neoplastic transformation has further increased the importance of HGMPE.
