Abstract

ABSTRACT Proximal esophageal adenocarcinoma is extremely rare. A gastric inlet patch is a lesion of ectopic gastric mucosa usually found in the cervical esophagus and is considered an incidental finding, but there is a risk for malignant transformation. We report the case of a 50-year-old male with gastroesophageal reflux disease with a 6-month history of progressive dysphagia and 20-pound weight loss. Upper endoscopy showed a malignant stricture with adjacent gastric inlet patch. Biopsies obtained from endoscopic ultrasonography showed adenocarcinoma. This case re-emphasizes careful examination of ectopic gastric mucosa and to consider biopsy if there is suspicion for malignant transformation.
