Novel and rare forms of oesophagitis

Victoria Malone et al. Histopathology. 2021 Jan.

Abstract

Our understanding of inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, including those of the oesophagus, has expanded in recent years. Once attributed almost exclusively to gastro-oesophageal reflux disease or infection, it is now recognised that oesophagitis may occur due to a variety of distinct disease entities. Many of these conditions cause debilitating and persistent symptoms, impacting upon quality of life and necessitating ongoing surveillance and treatment. This review will consider the clinical, endoscopic and histopathological features of these novel and rare forms of oesophagitis.

Keywords: eosinophilic oesophagitis; inflammatory oesophagitis; lymphocytic oesophagitis; oesophagitis.
