Glycogenic acanthosis of the esophagus: an unusually endoscopic appearance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glycogenic acanthosis of the esophagus is a common benign entity characterized by multifocal plaques of hyperplastic squamous epithelium with abundant intracellular glycogen deposits (1). At esophagoscopy these lesions appear as slightly raised grey-white plaques which are usually 2-10 mm in diameter and may be confluent. Although they may involve any segment, the literature suggests that are most common in the distal third (2).
