Case description

Glycogenic acanthosis of the esophagus is a common benign entity, characterized by multifocal plaques of hyperplastic squamous epithelium with abundant intracellular glycogen deposits. At esophagoscopy or on autopsy specimens these lesions appear as slightly raised grey-white plaques which are usually 2-10 mm in diameter and may be confluent. Glycogenic acanthosis may be related to gastroesophageal reflux
