MeSH Heading: Barrett Esophagus
Tree Number(s): C04.834.154; C06.405.117.102
Unique ID: D001471
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001471
Scope Note: A condition with damage to the lining of the lower ESOPHAGUS resulting from chronic acid reflux (ESOPHAGITIS, REFLUX). Through the process of metaplasia, the squamous cells are replaced by a columnar epithelium with cells resembling those of the INTESTINE or the salmon-pink mucosa of the STOMACH. Barrett's columnar epithelium is a marker for severe reflux and precursor to ADENOCARCINOMA of the esophagus.
