AIMS: Esophageal @entity957 is defined by a dense granular layer with overlying hyperorthokeratosis, resembling the epidermis of skin. A possible association between @entity957 , @entity1544 , and @entity957 has been proposed. This study aims to compare the prevalence of @entity957 in @entity1 with @entity418 to a control cohort. METHODS: Medical records and slides from 1048 consecutive esophageal biopsies and resections for any indication and 58 @entity1 with @entity418 were reviewed. RESULTS: Two cases (0.19%) of @entity957 were identified in the 1048 @entity1 control group. The prevalence of @entity957 was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the 58 @entity1 with @entity418 , where two @entity1 (3.5%) had concurrent @entity957 (odds ratio 18.1, 95% confidence interval 2.5-131). One case was associated with a @entity189 and the other with a well-differentiated, superficial ( @entity2558 ), @entity957 . No @entity1 @entity957 in a biopsy prior to the diagnosis of @entity5 . CONCLUSION: The increased prevalence of @entity957 observed in @entity1 with @entity1544 provides some additional support for the proposed association. The hypothesis that @entity957 is a precursor to @entity1544 remains unproven. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
