Abstract

Background: BARRETT"S ESOPHAGUS is a precancerous lesion leading to esophageal carcinoma in 10% of cases. It is usually remained undetected during endoscopy and most of physicians do not take biopsy from gastroesophagealjunction (GEl) when it seems to be normal. In the present study we have determined the frequency of BARRETT"S ESOPHAGUS in a group of Iranian patients referring for endoscopy to our unit. Materials and methods: During an eight-month period, 146 patients who had referred to our endoscopy unit entered our study regardless of their indication for endoscopy. A questionnaire dealing with demographic features, clinical manifestation of reflux, and indication for endoscopy was completed. During endoscopy, 2-4 biopsies obtained from Z-line. Finally, data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: The study population included 78 females and 68 males. Abdominal discomfort was the most common presenting manifestation (67.8%). Other symptoms were reflux (7.9%), dysphagia (17.1%),chest pain (28.1%), and regurgitation (4.8%). Endoscopy revealed short segment Ban-ett"s esophagus in " 13%, long segment Ban-ett"s esophagus in 4.8%, esophagitis in 11% and hia4il hernia in 11%. Pathologic studies showed Ban-ett"s esophagus in 4 (2.7%) patients, of whom, 2 had clinical manifestations of reflux and 3 failed to have endoscopic appearance of Ban-ett"s esophagus. Conclusion: As noted previously, 10% of cases with Ban-ett"s esophagus may lead to esophageal adenocarcinoma, thus, appropriate criteria should be established to diagnose patients with Ban-ett"s esophagus during their early stage.
