Lesion: White Plaques

Lesion: Esophageal rings with food bolus impaction in esophagus (Stenose)
Initial Management
•Biopsy: > 2 to 4 pieces both proximal + distal esophageal à Histology: basal zone hyperplasia, lamina propria fibrosis, sometimes eosinophilic microabcesses ∆+: ≥ 15 eos/hpf
•Other explorations : Peripheral eosinophilia, specific IgE
•Treatments : Elimination diets, topical steroids, systemic corticosteroids or other ttt should be individualized
Repeat EGD + biopsies in 4–12 weeks
