Barrett's oesophagus

Esophageal segment lined with columnar metaplastic epithelium which is flat or villiform. Barrett's epithelium is characterized by two different types of cells: goblet cells and columnar cells. The symptomatology of Barrett's esophagus is that of gastro-esophageal reflux. It is the precursor of most esophageal adenocarcinomas. (WHO, 2000) -- 2003
