Book Chapter Description

Benign esophageal lesions subsume a wide range of endoscopic findings but have low detection rates overall, as the majority of these lesions are small in size and never manifest clinical symptoms. Symptomatic benign esophageal lesions frequently present with dysphagia or chest or epigastric discomfort. Understanding the basic endoscopic and ultrasonographic appearance of these lesions can often yield a diagnosis in the absence of histologic evaluation. The purpose of this chapter is to outline the endoscopic and histologic features of a range of benign epithelial and sub-epithelial esophageal lesions alongside general guidelines for appropriate management.
