Glycogenic acanthosis of the esophagus
Diagnosis in short

LM squamous epithelium with (1) superficial clearing of the cytoplasm, and (2) thickening
Site esophagus

Associated Dx gastroesophageal reflux disease (???)
Clinical history ingestion of hot liquids (???)
Prevalence uncommon
Endoscopy raised grey/white lesions
Prognosis benign

Glycogenic acanthosis of the esophagus is an uncommon benign change of the esophagus with a distinctive endoscopic appearance.

General

  • Uncommon - seen 3.5% of consecutive 2328 upper endoscopies.[1]
  • Benign.[2]
  • May be associated with GERD;[1][3] however, lesions do not resolve with PPI treatment.[2]
  • Possible association with ingestion of hot liquids.[4]

Gross/endoscopic

  • Distinctive endoscopic appearance - grey/white raised lesion.[4]

Image

Microscopic

Features:[4]

  • Squamous epithelium with:
    • Superficial clearing of the cytoplasm.
    • Thickening.
