title: [Heterotopic gastric mucosa in the upper esophagus. An unknown cause of dysphagia].
abstract: Heterotopic gastric mucosa in the proximal third of the esophagus is an embryological lesion that has been described in between 1.1% and 10% of gastroscopies. Although most of these lesions are asymptomatic, they can sometimes be accompanied by upper esophageal symptoms due to acid secretion. We present a case of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the proximal third of the esophagus with dysphagia. pH-metry demonstrated acid secretion by these lesions, which was resolved by treatment with proton pump inhibitors.
