Atypical Regenerative Hyperplasia of the Esophagus in Endoscopic Biopsy: A Mimicker of Squamous Esophagic Carcinoma

Abstract

Atypical esophageal regenerative hyperplasia may mimic carcinoma in a small percentage of esophageal biopsies. If the histologic changes are not sufficient to establish an accurate diagnosis, medical treatment and subsequent biopsies should be performed, particularly if there are no endoscopic or radiologic data to support the presence of a neoplasm.
