In the absence of any visible lesions, patients with a Z line demonstrating <1 cm of proximal displacement from the top of the gastric folds should not undergo routine endoscopic biopsies (quality of evidence: low; strength of recommendation: conditional).
29 paź 2020 · Biopsies of a normal or irregular z-line are not recommended. If biopsies are sampled from an irregular Z-line, with no clear endoscopic evidence of Barrett’s, they should then be sent to the pathologist as z-line biopsies and not as endoscopically suspected Barrett esophagus (ESEM) biopsy samples.
8 sie 2022 · Given these risk factors, screening EGD is recommended. While appropriate screening was performed, biopsies were obtained from an irregular-appearing Z line. The current definition of BE requires columnar mucosa of at least 1 cm in length in conjunction with intestinal metaplasia on biopsies.
The histologic hallmark of intestinal metaplasia is required to confirm diagnosis. Biopsy specimens obtained from tissue of presumed Barrett esophagus or an irregular Z line confirm metaplastic glandular mucosa and permit evaluation of dysplastic or neoplastic changes.
