The main finding to look for is intestinalized mucosa (Barret's esophagus), which is defined as the presence of columnar epithelium with goblet cells.[1] A true goblet cell should have rounded shape, clear to bluish cytoplasmic mucin, and be randomly scattered.[2] The mucin usually indents the nucleus.[2]

| Gastroesophageal junctional mucosa with chronic inflammation and reactive changes, non-specific. Negative for intestinalized (Barrett's) mucosa. |
