Esophagitis
Look for signs of (reflux) esophagitis, mainly:[1]
- Inflammatory cells, especially when intra-epithelial. Neutrophils confer a diagnosis of acute inflammation, while plasma cells, eosinophils and excess T cells confer a diagnosis of chronic inflammation. In eosinophil-predominant inflammation, also evaluate as suspected eosinophilic esophagitis.
- Basal cell hyperplasia exceeding 15 - 20% of the epithelial thickness.
- Stromal papillae reaching upper third of the epithelium.
- Ballooned squamous cells
