Risk of progression to eosinophilic esophagitis in patients with asymptomatic esophageal eosinophilia: A retrospective pilot study.

Background And Aim: As the number of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has increased worldwide, the likelihood of diagnosing esophageal eosinophilia (EE) in screening endoscopy has also increased. Many of these EE patients do not display any symptoms (i.e.

Influence of Infection on Endoscopic Findings of Gastric Adenocarcinoma of the Fundic Gland Type.

Purpose: Gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type (chief cell predominant type) (GA-FG-CCP) was first reported as a rare adenocarcinoma found in the normal fundic mucosa. Recent studies have proposed the possibility that GA-FG-CCPs were also generated in the atrophic mucosa after (HP) eradication therapy. However, little is known on the endoscopic findings of GA-FG-CCP generated in the atrophic mucosa due to its extreme rarity.
