Incidental finding of esophageal inlet patch: A case report

An esophageal inlet patch is a congenital anomaly composed of heterotropic gastric mucosa at or just distal to upper esophageal sphincter. Most often it is asymptomatic or presents as complications of acid secretion. The diagnosis is confirmed by 67 years old female who complained elevated mucosal structure with superficial ulceration in the upper third of esophagus. Histopathology confirmed pre sence of ectopic gastric mucosa. We have presented this case as it is not diagnosed often and it is important to identify it as it helps the treatment and rarely has a malignant potential.
