Abstract

Abstract: Endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) with maximal acid suppression is the cornerstone for the management of patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) associated dysplasia. The occurrence of buried dysplastic glands after re-epithelialization of a neo-squamous epithelium is of concern for endoscopists. Here, we present a patient with BE and high-grade dysplasia successfully treated by EET who developed buried dysplastic BE during surveillance. A review of literature on buried dysplasia after successful endoscopic therapy of BE is also discussed.
