Esophageal Lesions: Causes & Reasons

Possible Causes for Esophageal Lesions

Esophageal atresia has been described. Epidermolysis bullosa-like lesions may affect the respiratory tract and cause acute respiratory failure. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

Esophageal Ulcer

In our patient, the association between the drug and the esophageal lesions was masked by the presence of a hiatal hernia, potentially a cause of the esophageal lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

lesion had been caused by direct contact of the drug with the esophageal mucosa. [scielo.br]

AIDS patients have been seen with a variety of ulcerating esophageal lesions, which may be refractory to both diagnostic approaches and empiric medical intervention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cytomegalovirus Esophagitis

INTERVENTIONS: Endoscopy with multiple mucosal biopsies and viral culture of all esophageal mucosal lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Interventions: Endoscopy with multiple mucosal biopsies and viral culture of all esophageal mucosal lesions. [annals.org]

lesions. [sages.org]

These have been used to improve the assessment of esophageal lesions. [11] We did not have any of these to help evaluate the tumor or esophageal mucosa which led to repeat [njcponline.com]

Esophageal Metastasis

Histological and immunohistochemical analyses of biopsies from the esophageal lesion and the hepatic tumor confirmed the diagnosis of cHCC-ICC with a stem cell-subtype, according [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Discussion: Although breast carcinoma represents a frequent source of metastases to the gastrointestinal tract, esophageal lesions are a rare entity. [sciedupress.com]

Diagnosis of metastatic esophageal carcinoma is still difficult, due to its rarity and the submucosal involvement of metastatic lesions in the esophagus. [karger.com]

Esophageal Candidiasis

All six patients receiving oral miconazole, and four of the six receiving ketoconazole had complete resolution of their esophageal lesions at the end of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSION: Multiple esophageal lesions that resemble aphthous ulcers are a subtle radiographic manifestation of Candida esophagitis and may be responsible for either missed [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We conclude oral miconazole is at least as effective as ketoconazole in the treatment of candida esophagitis in AIDS patients. authors Deschamps, M. M H Pape, Jean W. [vivo.med.cornell.edu]

Esophageal Tuberculosis

Multiple further deep submucosal biopsies were needed to finally detect epitheloid cell granulomas in the esophageal lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The esophageal lesions usually involved or had conglutinated with the enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

STUDY DESIGN: During a period of four years, endoscopic cytology of esophageal lesions was performed on 228 patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Esophageal Duplication

Types of Esophageal Submucosal Lesions Esophageal cysts are benign lesions. [nyp.org]

Large lesion distorts esophageal lumen. CT shows lesion distorting but not obstructing esophageal lumen (arrow). [radiologyassistant.nl]

Esophageal duplication cysts are rare inherited lesions usually diagnosed in early childhood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Esophageal Crohn Disease

[…] and esophageal lesions on each endoscopy, although these lesions had completely disappeared initially. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ileocolic lesions developed after esophageal lesions in only five patients (6.5%) including ours. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The oral and esophageal lesions disappeared, along with the associated symptoms (odynophagia and dysphagia). [revistagastroenterologiamexico.org]

Esophageal Carcinoma

A subsequent endoscopic examination showed the presence of an esophageal lesion, and after surgery, the histologic diagnosis was mildly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We suggest that esophageal tuberculosis has to be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of esophageal ulcerovegetant lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Lesions in the upper, middle, and lower esophageal segments metastasized to abdominal LNs at 2.3%, 7.8%, and 26.6% (P < 0.0001), respectively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Herpes Simplex Esophagitis

Herpes lesions may herald esophagitis, or may arise after esophagitis or may be absent. [symptoma.com]

lesions. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Misdiagnosis as fungal esophagitis is a common error because this condition also presents with large lesions. [symptoma.com]

Esophageal Stenosis

RESULTS: Esophageal stenosis developed after endoscopic mucosal resection of 13 lesions (6.0%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The autosomally inherited form, epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica recessive (EBDR), is responsible for esophageal lesions consisting of web or stenosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The study enrolled a total of 42 lesions of superficial esophageal cancer in 33 consecutive patients who underwent ESD in our department. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Malignant Neoplasm of the Esophagus

lesions found on pathologic examination. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An esophageal lesion was first detected via a screening gastroscopy; the other eight lesions were found during screening examinations over the subsequent six years. [bmccancer.biomedcentral.com]

Interestingly, all of the esophageal carcinomas removed in the laryngopharyngoesophagectomy specimens were small and sometimes not evident clinically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neoplasm of the Esophagus

Types of Esophageal Submucosal Lesions Esophageal cysts are benign lesions. [nyp.org]

Large lesion distorts esophageal lumen. CT shows lesion distorting but not obstructing esophageal lumen (arrow). [radiologyassistant.nl]

Distal esophageal lesions (more representative for GEJ) accounted for 77% in the RTCT arm and for 81% in the surgery alone one. [ro-journal.biomedcentral.com]

Esophageal Obstruction

CONCLUSIONS: Combined antegrade and retrograde dilation is a safe and effective technique for dilation of complex obstructing esophageal lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Discussion Side effects of radiation therapy is the most common cause of upper esophageal lesions. [acgcasereports.gi.org]

Large lesion distorts esophageal lumen. CT shows lesion distorting but not obstructing esophageal lumen (arrow). [radiologyassistant.nl]

Lower Esophageal Ring

In the case of upper esophageal webs, just inserting the endoscope into the esophagus may destroy the lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These inflammatory cells are more common in distal esophageal lesions than in proximal esophageal lesions. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Of note, an upper endoscopy can identify both lesions but is far inferior to a barium esophagram for diagnosing upper esophageal webs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Sato's curved laryngoscope was used even in cervical esophageal lesions and an excellent field was secured. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Esophagitis

Dexketoprofen trometamol may cause esophageal lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

IgG4-related esophageal disease presenting as esophageal lesions alone is a very rare condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
