Article Synopsis
- Esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus caused by various factors, with infectious esophagitis being a common type attributed mainly to candida and viral infections like HSV and CMV, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.
- * A case-control study analyzed patients age 18 and older diagnosed with HSV or CMV esophagitis from 2009 to 2022 across five hospitals, focusing on their demographics and risk factors.
- * Among 40,224 cases, 50 patients were identified with viral esophagitis; symptoms varied with hematemesis more common in HSV cases and dysphagia in CMV cases, while endoscopic findings showed ulceration in HSV patients.
Background And Aim: Esophageal squamous papilloma (ESP) is a benign growth in the esophagus with unknown malignant potential. The mechanism underlying ESP formation is unknown, but human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been proposed as a potential etiology. We sought to investigate the clinical characteristic of ESP in our population, review the current literature, and highlight the role of HPV.

- The GI tract is a rare site for breast cancer metastasis, making diagnosis challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and varying endoscopic appearances.
- Two cases are highlighted: one involves HER2-positive invasive ductal carcinoma metastasizing to the stomach, while the other involves invasive lobular carcinoma affecting the colon, presenting unusual mucosal pallor and edema.
- Tissue biopsies are essential for proper diagnosis in these cases.
