Case description

In this video clip you can see, a tongue of the Barrett´s esophagus, which has been enhanced with acetic acid, and also shows the endoscopic biopsies. The rapidly growing quantity of literature on this subject is, however, confounding. A major source of discordance would seem to be a Babylonian confusion of tongues concerning the terms cardia and cardiac carcinomas. Unfortunately, this confusion is also apparent in the classification systems available for staging of cancer, thus closing the "vicious" circle.
