Lymphocytic esophagitis mimicking eosinophilic esophagitis
A 74-year-old male with a history of dysphagia for 3 years presented with acute food impaction. Endoscopy showed a tight distal stricture with course rings at the middle third of the esophagus. Biopsies taken from the middle third of the esophagus showed marked infiltration of the intraepithelial lymphocytes mainly in a peripapillary distribution.

متن کاملLymphocytic esophagitis: a histologic subset of chronic esophagitis.
A novel histologic phenotype of chronic esophagitis, ie, lymphocytic esophagitis, is reported in 20 patients. Lymphocytic esophagitis is characterized by high numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) gathered mainly around peripapillary fields and by none (n = 12) to occasional (n = 8) CD15+ intraepithelial granulocytes. IELs expressed CD3, CD4 (42%), CD8 (36%), and granzyme B (0.2%), wher...
متن کاملLymphocytic Esophagitis: A Newly Recognized Mimic of Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Lymphocytic Esophagitis (LyE) is a type of chronic esophagitis defined by three histologic characteristics: 1) dense peripapillary lymphocytic infiltrates in the esophageal squamous mucosa (termed Peripapillary Lymphocytosis), 2) little to no intraepithelial granulocytes within these areas of focus and 3) the presence of spongiosis, or intercellular edema, of the squamous epithelial cells speci...

متن کاملPrevalence of Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Lymphocytic Esophagitis in Adults with Esophageal Food Bolus Impaction
Background. The relation of esophageal food bolus impaction (FBI) to eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and lymphocytic esophagitis (LyE) is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of EoE and LyE among adults with FBI. Methods. In this retrospective study we analyzed data from all patients referred for gastroscopy during the past 5 years, because of a present or recent episod...
