Oesophageal Inlet Patch

Oesophageal Inlet Patch is a small area of heterotopic gastric epithelium in the cervical part of the oesophagus. This finding is common, about 2-4 % of all patients undergoing upper endoscopy have an inlet patch.

Oesophageal Inlet Patches (they can be multiple)

The finding is considered clinically insignificant, the patch does not cause any symptoms, and there is no risk of cancer. A coincidence of Barrett oesophagus and inlet patch has been found, suggesting some kind of shared embryonic etiology.

The Best Image Library in the World!

That is what we would like Gastrolab Image Library and Endoscopic Archives to be.
Perhaps We can achieve this together? Many of You have ecxellent endoscopic images just waiting for publication. When published they can be an invaluable resource for young endoscopists and for gastroenterologic education. Images published here can freely be used for noncommercial purposes.
So, please email Your images here
glabinfo@gmail.com together with a short caption, a notice that our site is permitted to publish them and information if You want a copyright sign © together with You email address (in which case possible commercial publishers can contact You to get permission to publish Your images).
