A 25-year-old woman experiencing dysphagia for 2 years underwent 18 F-FDG and Al 18 F-FAPI-74 PET/CT. The scans showed local thickening of the cervical and upper thoracic esophageal wall with several calcifications, accompanied by increased and heterogeneous FDG uptake and more intense FAPI activity. Histopathological analysis following thoracoscopic esophagectomy confirmed the diagnosis of esophageal inflammatory pseudotumor.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory esophageal disorder. The lack of non-invasive biomarkers currently results in dependency on endoscopy with biopsies for its diagnosis and monitoring. We aimed to identify potential non-invasive biomarkers using microRNAs (miRNAs) in plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs).

Background: The effect of maternal smoking around birth (MSAB) on gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in the offspring is still not fully understood.
Aim: We conducted a rigorous Mendelian randomization (MR) study to examine the association between MSAB and 24 GI diseases in offspring.
Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with MSAB were obtained from a recent study.

Esophageal lichen planus (ELP) is a rare chronic inflammatory condition with delayed diagnosis that can present with dysphagia. It has been scarcely studied in the literature, and clinical management guidelines are lacking. Stenosis and neoplastic transformation are among its most feared complications.

Eosinophilic esophagitis has not become a rare disease; thus, knowledge for diagnosing it is needed in current clinical practice. The adequate management of endoscopic procedures is particularly important for the diagnosis and evaluation of inflammatory activity and therapeutic responses.
