Article Abstract
The presence of heterotopic pancreatic tissue in the gastroesophageal junction is a very rare entity. An exact preoperative diagnosis is only rarely possible despite all available diagnostic procedures. We report on the case of a submucous tumor of the gastroesophageal junction which became symptomatic due to reflux problems and was successfully removed by endoscope-assisted laparoscopic resection.

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Electronic address:
Background And Aims: An irregular z-line is characterized by a squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) that extends proximally above the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) by < 1 centimeter (cm), while Barrett's esophagus (BE) is defined as a columnar lined esophagus (CLE) that extends proximally by ≥1 cm with the presence of specialized intestinal metaplasia (IM) on biopsy. Measurement of CLE is most accurate for lengths ≥1 cm, and as such, guidelines do not recommend biopsy of an irregular z-line when seen on endoscopy. However, a CLE is often estimated by visual inspection rather than direct measurement, making this characterization imprecise.

Background: Fragmentation of care (FC) is healthcare provided by different providers and/or facilities. FC has been associated with inferior outcomes, yet it improves access to specialized cancer care. We aim to identify the association of fragmented gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJ) care with survival.
