Coexistent Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus With Rapid Eosinophilic Infiltration of Neosquamous Mucosa After Radiofrequency Ablation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The coexistence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and Barrett's esophagus (BE) is rare despite the known association of gastroesophageal reflux disease with both conditions. Radiofrequency ablation is an effective endoscopic eradication therapy in patients with dysplastic BE. However, the efficacy and outcomes of radiofrequency ablation in patients with concomitant EoE and BE are not well known. We report a case of rapid eosinophilic infiltration of the neosquamous mucosa after the complete eradication of long-segment dysplastic BE in a patient with coexisting BE and EoE.
