Barrett's esophagus in a newborn

D B Robins et al. Pediatr Pathol. 1991 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

We describe Barrett's esophagus occurring in a 3-week-old male. The finding of columnar cell-lined lower esophageal epithelium in the presence of gastroesophageal reflux supports the theory of an acquired phenomenon and suggests that the metaplastic process may have begun in the perinatal period.
